To maintain the highest level of safety while working with spray paint, solvents, or chemicals, your respirator filters must be in top condition. The GVS Elipse AE1 Replacement Filters are designed to snap directly onto your GVS Elipse AE1 Half-Face Mask, ensuring you remain protected against hazardous vapors that standard dust masks cannot stop.
Filters are the most critical part of your PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). Over time, the active carbon in the filters becomes saturated, reducing their effectiveness. This twin-pack allows you to refresh your mask and keep breathing clean air.
Technical Specifications
Filter Type: AE1 (Replaceable Gas Filters).
Protection Range: Specifically designed for Ammonia and various Organic Gases/Vapors.
Certification: NIOSH Approved (Approval number: Multigas TC-84A-3485).
Shelf Life: 3 years from the date of manufacture (provided they remain in their original, airtight packaging).

Key Features
Targeted Protection: While many filters only handle dust, the AE1 rating is specialized for chemical environments, making it ideal for industrial use or heavy-duty painting sessions involving high-solvent content.
Low Profile Design: Like the mask itself, these filters are designed to be slim and lightweight, providing a wide field of vision and making them comfortable to wear under welding shields or visors.
Versatile Mask Body: The GVS Elipse mask system is modular. Depending on your project, you can swap these AE1 gas filters for P3 particulate filters if you are switching from painting to sanding or working in high-dust environments.
Easy Maintenance: The snap-in system allows for a quick and secure change-out in the field without the need for specialized tools.
When to Replace Your Filters
You should replace your AE1 filters immediately if:
Smell/Taste: You can begin to smell or taste the gases or vapors through the mask.
Resistance: Breathing becomes noticeably more difficult.
Damage: The filter housing shows signs of cracks or physical wear.
Expiration: The filters have reached the end of their 3-year shelf life.
