Respirator filter expiration and common sense

I've had to make a common sense response regarding respirator filter expiration to a surplus seller leaving angry comments on my channel regarding supposedly "misinforming" people about how respirator filters work.
Rather than give him the satisfaction of a direct response I thought I'd make a video where I can present my arguments properly regarding the expiration of filters.
My stance has always been, a properly sealed filter will always last longer than it's factory use by/expiration date but there is no guarantee over how long it will last, would you really want to trust your life on something that has no guarantee of working?
For that same reason a filter that is still sealed and within it's expiration date can also be damaged and not work, I highlight some examples of this in the video.
If companies do not state an actual expiration date of their filters, they will often say they will last indefinitely if properly sealed, indefinite is not the same thing as infinite, indefinitely means it will last for an unknown amount of time.
Information on filter expiration.

I used a 20 year old Finnish Army respirator and filter (unissued mask and filter in sealed foil) to spray solvent based auto paint in a spray booth. Not only did it prevent inhalation of paint particulates but also the solvent didn't get through! That said, in a survival situation with a NBC attack and your life depended on it, then I'd use kit that is as NEW as possible every time!

Well said mate. I do have a silly question though, do cartridge filter, say organic gas or acid gas, become ineffective after 1 month or ineffective? I use cartridge filter when I am doing DIY with chemicals but concentrations are never too high to worry about my life, I am slightly concerned about the chemicals used to soak the activated carbon/charcoal over time. Also being the newbie I am to this I am upset by the fact that 3M labels China's 6002CN filter yellow when it is a Acid Gas one, and not Organic Vapour one. I may have missed something there

Bro I’m so glad I found your channel! There’s someone on instagram that is really fear mongering pushing the M50 everything else is garbage. I’m learning so much now. I’m a prepper but thought gas masks were over kill compared to food and such. It’ll be added shortly to my preps soon, but now I’m not afraid to go with the Israeli (I cant afford a m50 in any lifetime) I appreciate what you’ve put up two years ago. You’re making a difference. This should be on the history channel! Haha!
@Weaponsandstuff93
@Weaponsandstuff93 4 года назад
Glad you find the videos helpful, I have an M50, it's a very good mask but not really good for civilians, the reason being it uses a filter only the US military has a large stock of, you really want 40mm for a prepping style mask as you can find the filters fairly easily. Unlike a mask that uses a unique filter.

@Weaponsandstuff93
@Weaponsandstuff93 6 лет назад
I can't really do a video where there are not even expiration dates on certain filters. Basically do you have a production date on the filter? All filters should have a production date, if so add 10 years or so to that date and that's your expiration date. All the filters you mentioned have long since expired anyway.
@whiskkers9291
@whiskkers9291 5 лет назад
Silly question here, Is the date "26/11/07" (received it in 2018) when this filter was made or the expiration? If it is the date it was made how long are they typically good for under ideal storing conditions? This is an Israeli I am speaking about. Thanks and I love the video!

Normally that's the manufacture date. Most filters last 5-10 years if stored properly.

Would you have any opinion about expired N100 particulate filters (for elastomeric masks) used for the purpose of particulate filtering only? 5 years expired but packaging looks in reasonable condition. Obviously not ideal. Got mailed these on Amazon and seller refuses to pay for the return shipping for the refund and I'd rather not foot that bill. Concern for expired particulate filters seems to be the rubber seals for fitting to the elastomeric mask, and maybe 'glue' between the layers of paper inside?
@user-ce2un1jg7h
@user-ce2un1jg7h 4 года назад
The particulate filter part doesn't really ever expire, but it just becomes clogged up (so you can't breath so easily). On the other hand, the chemical part of the filter can expire.

@thatguy5608
@thatguy5608 6 лет назад
Great explanation in your video bud. I can't believe that the guy who attacked you thought that filters don't ever expire. Unfortunately due to entropy everything in the universe has an expectation date. Tbh against simplistic gas attacks like chlorine or even some of the less complex chemical nerve agents 9/10 most gas masks will protect against them, I use a Finnish m61 gas mask and filter when I make chlorine gas for some experiments I do and it protects me perfectly. But against actual chemical agents that are specifically designed to kill people that are complex the filter will be eaten away and when you're Being exposed to gaseous agents that were invented after the filters it's not always going to protect you, some will erode the filters because people have tried to design gases that won't be stopped by a gas mask
@Weaponsandstuff93

Hey, mate. I think I had asked on another of your videos about what sort of filter would block cigarette smoke, as I have reactive airway disease and asthma, possibly COPD. If it wasn't you, forgive the mistaken identity, but it was mentioned that ABEKP43 filters would be best. I am having a hard time finding any source for this sort of filter. Are these a variation on a standard NATO 40mm-style filter? Or is ABEKP43 its own special type? I realize this is like going after a fly with a bazooka, but I cannot afford to take any chances, as secondhand smoke can lock my airway from direct exposure, and make me sick from 200 feet away. Thanks in advance, and cheerio.
@Weaponsandstuff93
@Weaponsandstuff93 6 лет назад
I may have mentioned before but APEKP3 filters would be your best bet, however you can't really block smoke fully without using an air tank.

Explain the air tank bit. I am not that familiar with any of these apparatuses and thinking you mean something along the lines of a PAPR? I have seen on another of your videos that demonstrates varying levels of protection from different types of masks, and I wonder if the half-face respirator would do the job. However, I worry that it would not sufficiently block the particles from cigarette smoke and the fumes that accompany it.

So I bought a gas mask with a filter included and it wasn't in the packet where it shows the expiration date. Both the gas mask and filter were in a plain small plastic bag. I opened the filter and used it on the gas mask for like 2 minutes. I then stored it in my bug out bag. Will it still last a long time even though it was used for only a couple of minutes? Maybe if a North Korea attack comes, will the filter still have enough life? Thanks! Also, I love all of your videos! They were very amazing and informative!
@Weaponsandstuff93
@Weaponsandstuff93 6 лет назад
Without knowing more about the filter I'm afraid I can't really answer that, as long as it's in an air tight bag that will slow down degradation. You can always buy more filters anyway. If a nuke goes off all proper gas mask filters will offer good protection from irradiated dust/fallout, but old filters will provide a lot less protection from chemical vapours.

If they are tan Israeli filters they should be fine but they have been using the same filter design for 30 years so you have no guarantee of when they were made, Israeli filters come with a date stamp on them, so if they were out of date the seller may have peeled the sticker off.

And a Foil Bag Sealed may last longer than a plastic bag... I live in a low humidity area so the filter may last longer. As in dry and sometimes cool air. tjl

I got a Israeli filter today, and I have no clue which date is which. Both dates say: 01/93 and 18/05/08. Which date is the expiration date, and which is the production date?

@Weaponsandstuff93 4 года назад
The expiration date is clearly the one 20 odd years later

Is it dangerous to use an expired filter even if you wont be using it for protection? Cosplay for example.

No, totally depends if the filter is safe full stop.

@@Weaponsandstuff93 cheers for the reply. I suppose you get this a lot. Just want to confirm becuase paranoia. Will a fp-5 be safe to use cosmetically even if years pahaps decades expired? Also dumb question but how do i dispose of a gp5 filter? I feel like its not something you can throw in the bin.

Ok thanks for the reply and here something off topic.So as you said some people say that gp5 filtesr do not contain asbestos(false advertising).Once is saw a gp5 on ebay and guess what he said it was a rare mask and idk if he didnt know it was one of the most common or that he wanted to get some extra money.
