NEO tools ABEK1 respirator filter cartridge 97-362 is designed to reduce inhalation exposure to a broad range of gases and vapours when used with compatible half-mask or full-face respirators. The ABEK1 classification indicates combined protection against organic vapours, inorganic gases, acid gases and ammonia at concentrations up to the filter’s rated capacity. The cartridge is suitable for industrial and maintenance environments where solvent fumes, acidic vapours or ammonia may be present, and it fits respirator models that accept threaded chemical filter cartridges.
Advantages
The NEO tools ABEK1 cartridge provides multi-gas protection in a single unit, simplifying personal protective equipment selection for mixed-exposure environments. Its compact design allows for comfortable use with half and full face respirators without significantly increasing breathing resistance. Constructed to meet common performance expectations for ABEK1 filters, the cartridge enables targeted removal of organic compounds, inorganic gases, acidic vapours and ammonia when used within the filter’s intended service limits.
Suitable for
- Painting and varnishing with organic solvent-based products
- Handling cleaning agents and acids in maintenance work
- Work with ammonia-containing solutions and refrigeration systems
- Industrial processes generating mixed vapours and gases

How to use
Prior to use, verify that the cartridge type matches the airborne contaminants and concentration range of your work environment. Inspect the cartridge and respirator for damage and ensure a secure, correct fit of the cartridge to the respirator by following the respirator manufacturer’s mounting instructions. Perform a user seal check with the complete respirator assembly before entering the contaminated area. Replace cartridges according to exposure levels, breakthrough indicators where present, or the time limits specified by the respirator and cartridge guidance. Store unused cartridges in a sealed package away from high humidity and sources of contamination.
Usage recommendations
Use this NEO tools ABEK1 filter cartridge only with compatible respirators and for the contaminants listed. Do not use against oxygen-deficient atmospheres. If you are unsure about concentrations or contaminant types, consult safety data sheets, workplace exposure limits and a qualified safety professional to select appropriate respiratory protection and establish a cartridge change schedule.
