ICAN filters are tested, approved and marked in
accordance with the requirements of European standards EN 141:1990 ("Gas filters
and combined filters") and EN 143:1990 ("Particle filters"), and are CE -marked.
ICAN-filters' standard thread connection is tested and approved in accordance
with EN 148-1:1987.
ICAN-filters are characterised by an extremely high filter effectiveness
and a large filter capacity,
whilst at the same time retaining a low weight. This gives the user both a high
level of protection and a significant degree of comfort.
ICAN-particle filters are produced in the form of an aluminium housing
into which an electrostatically-charged material is fitted. This material is
folded so that the actual filtration area is very large, thereby achieving the
optimum filtration effect and very low respiratory resistance.
Particle filters gradually become blocked by solid and liquid particles which
accumulate in the filter.
The working life of the filter is therefore dependent on the type and
concentration of the hazardous substance, the user's performance, etc. Particle
filters must be replaced when respiratory resistance has become so significant
that it feels uncomfortable.
ICAN-gas filters are produced in the form of an aluminium housing,
into which activated charcoal, which in some cases is impregnated, is added.
Activated charcoal has an extremely large surface area.
The gases are absorbed by the activated charcoal. As the filter approaches the
end of its working life, leakage will gradually increase. The filter must be
replaced before leakage (breakthrough) occurs.
The filter must be replaced when the pollutant can be smelt or tasted, or if
other irritation symptoms occur.
ICAN-combined filters are made up of a gas filter combined with a
particle filter.
ICAN-filters are very lightweight and at the same time extremely
durable.

Warning!
No filters protects against a lack of oxygen. The surrounding air
must contain 17-21% (volume) of oxygen. Gas filters do not protect against
particles. Use a combined filter if in doubt about the presence of harmful
particles. Particle filters do not protect against gases and fumes. Use a
combined filter if in doubt about the presence of harmful gases and fumes.
Particle filters may only be used for one day against radioactive substances,
spores, bacteria and viruses. It is important that the ICAN FILTERS instruction
manual is read carefully before use.
