Product Information

Offers unmatched fit and comfort with a clear blue facepiece. The thermoplastic rubber subtracts 25% of the weight and adds softness to MSA's Advantage 200 LS respirator. The patented MultiFlex® System equalizes pressure on the face-seal area, while delivering exceptional stability, so the respirator will not collapse during wear. The AnthroCurve sealing surface instantly conforms to each wearer’s unique facial characteristics. Current Advantage 200 respirator wearers require no additional fit testing.

Product Information

Removes specific contaminants from inhaled air using chemical cartridges, aerosol filters or a combination of the two, which are interchangeable among other MSA twin-cartridge respirators. The Comfo Elite respirator is available in standard black silicone, which maximizes comfort, minimizes skin irritation and is resistant to chemicals and facial oils. The unique sealing surface reduces facepiece slippage by matching facial contours to distribute pressure evenly over the wearer’s face. A cradle headband, which allows adjustments while wearing the facepiece, is standard.

Advantage® Respirator Cartridges

Principles of Operation

Designed for easy installation, Advantage cartridges use the latest bayonet-style mounting design. Featuring a low lug height and lead-in connectors, the cartridges lock into place with a single twist. An advanced engineering design makes negative pressure fit-testing easier to perform.

Approvals and Standards

The complete Advantage line of particulate, chemical and combination cartridges are approved under 42 CFR Part 84. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires fit tests to ensure proper fit for workers who use respirators.
