Avon Protection - Filter Selection Matrix - EN

The document is a filter selection matrix that compares different gas and particulate respirator filters across various criteria. It shows that filters have different approvals, classifications, protections offered, weights, breathing resistances, shelf lives, body styles, and thread types. For example, the CFP100 filter is NIOSH approved, offers protection against particulates, gases, and vaporized metals/acids, weighs 118g, and has a 10 year shelf life. The matrix allows comparison of filters to help select the right one for different applications and contaminants.
