- TR-6530N-5
3M TR-6530N Versaflo Organic Vapor/Acid Gas/Hepa Cartridge (5 Each/Case)
The TR-6530N is a combination cartridge for certain particulates, Organic Vapor/Acid Gas (OV/AG), for use with TR-600 series Powered Air Purifying Respirators. This filter/cartridge may be suitable for operations where the primary hazard is particulate and/or certain organic vapors or acid gases, such as in pharmaceutical manufacturing, mold remediation. 3M recommends the use of the TR-6500FC filter cover to help protect the filter/cartridge from physical damage. The TR-6500FC filter cover is also used to hold the TR-6600 prefilter or TR-662 spark arrestor in place. For maximum PAPR system run time, select the TR-632 High Capacity Battery when using this cartridge. NIOSH approval: OV/SD/HC/CL/HF/HE

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 3M TR-6530N Versaflo cartridge and what does it protect against?
The 3M TR-6530N Versaflo is a NIOSH-approved combination cartridge that protects against three hazard types at once: organic vapors, acid gases, and particulates. It pairs an integrated High Efficiency (HE) particulate filter with an Organic Vapor/Acid Gas (OV/AG) chemical cartridge in a single unit, so a worker gets particulate plus gas-and-vapor protection without stacking separate components. It is used with 3M Versaflo powered air purifying respirators and is well suited to jobs where the main hazard is particulate and/or certain organic vapors or acid gases, such as pharmaceutical manufacturing and mold remediation.
What does the NIOSH approval OV/SD/HC/CL/HF/HE on the 3M TR-6530N mean, and why is it Magenta/Yellow?
The NIOSH approval string OV/SD/HC/CL/HF/HE lists what the TR-6530N is certified against: OV = Organic Vapor, SD = Sulfur Dioxide, HC = Hydrogen Chloride, CL = Chlorine, HF = Hydrogen Fluoride, and HE = High Efficiency particulate filtration. The assigned NIOSH color coding is Magenta/Yellow — magenta signals the P100/high-efficiency particulate protection and yellow signals the organic vapor/acid gas capability, so responders and safety officers can identify the cartridge's protection at a glance. Always confirm the cartridge matches your specific contaminants and exposure limits.
Which respirators is the 3M TR-6530N compatible with — can it be used on its own?
The 3M TR-6530N is designed for 3M Versaflo TR-600 Series and TR-800 Series Powered Air Purifying Respirators (PAPRs) — it is a filter/cartridge, not a standalone respirator, so it must be installed on a compatible Versaflo PAPR blower with a 3M-approved headtop, hood, or facepiece. It connects directly to the blower unit and installs simply. Match the cartridge to the correct TR-600/TR-800 system and headtop to build a complete NIOSH-approved respirator.
Is the 3M TR-6530N a HEPA cartridge?
Yes — the TR-6530N includes an integrated High Efficiency (HE) particulate filter, which is HEPA-class filtration, combined with an Organic Vapor/Acid Gas cartridge. The "HE" in its NIOSH approval is the highest particulate class, capturing dusts, mists, fumes, and other particulate hazards, while the OV/AG portion adds protection against certain organic vapors and acid gases. That combination is why it's often listed as an "Organic Vapor/Acid Gas/HEPA" cartridge.
What jobs and industries is the 3M TR-6530N cartridge used for?
The 3M TR-6530N is built for operations where the primary hazard is particulate and/or certain organic vapors or acid gases. Typical applications include pharmaceutical manufacturing, mold remediation, cleaning, demolition, food processing, metalworking, and welding. It's commonly used in industries such as pharmaceutical, food safety, facility sanitation, industrial maintenance, design & construction, and heavy infrastructure. For a specific contaminant and concentration, verify the selection with the 3M Service Life Selection tool or your industrial hygienist.
What accessories does 3M recommend with the TR-6530N cartridge?
3M recommends using the TR-6500FC filter cover to protect the TR-6530N from physical damage; that same cover also holds a TR-6600 prefilter or a TR-662 spark arrestor in place when either is needed. For the longest PAPR system run time while using this cartridge, 3M suggests pairing it with the TR-632 High Capacity Battery. These accessories are optional add-ons that extend the cartridge's protection and the system's runtime.
Is the 3M TR-6530N sold individually or in a case, and where can I buy it?
Both. The 3M TR-6530N is sold by the each (single cartridge) and also as a 5 Each/Case pack, so you can order one or buy in bulk. Both options are available at Industrial Safety Products (industrialsafetyproducts.com) with free shipping. Choose the single unit for replacements or the 5-pack case to stock a crew or facility.
Should I choose the 3M TR-6530N combination cartridge or a particulate-only filter?
Choose based on your hazard. A particulate-only filter protects against dusts, mists, and fumes but does nothing for gases or vapors. The TR-6530N is a combination cartridge — it adds Organic Vapor/Acid Gas protection on top of a High Efficiency particulate filter, so it's the right pick when workers face both airborne particles and certain organic vapors or acid gases (for example pharmaceutical processing or mold remediation). If there is no gas or vapor risk, a lighter particulate-only filter may be enough; when there is, the combination cartridge saves you from stacking components and covers both hazards in one unit.
