The 3M 6001 is a compact, economical organic vapor cartridge designed to protect against solvent vapors and other organic compounds, offering targeted chemical sorption at a lower price than multi-gas/P100 combos. Versus the multi-threat cartridges listed here, the 6001 lacks particulate protection (so it is typically paired with a P100 filter) but provides a lightweight, budget-friendly solution when organic vapors are the primary concern.
