Description

The MIRA Safety P-CAN police gas mask filter is one of the world’s most advanced solutions for potential long-term exposure to riot control gasses including CS, CN, and OC.

Featuring the same basic characteristics as other MIRA Safety filters, these hydrophobic P3 police gas mask filters have almost 3 times as much activated carbon as competing filters, providing up to 12 hours of rock-solid, reliable protection, even in wet conditions.

The filters are produced with standard round threads according to STANAG 4155 (EN 148-1)- Rd 40 x 1/7". In addition to a shelf life of almost double than competing filters, they also meet EN 14387:2004 + A1:2008 standards for the removal of CS/CN gas in vapor form. Individual canisters are vacuum-sealed, dated, and black in color for easy identification in inventory.

Key Features:

  • Specifically designed for law enforcement professionals for use with riot control agents/tear gases including CS, CN, and OC pepper spray.
  • Hydrophobic coating on the embedded P3 filter ensures reliable function in rain, snow, or practically any conditions.
  • Longer-lasting protection with almost 3X the activated carbon of competitors (250 cm3 vs. 90 cm3).
  • Delivers over 12 hours of reliable protection from riot control agents—giving officers the confidence they need to keep the peace.
  • Compatible with standard 40 mm NATO-threaded respirators, which are widely available.
  • 10-year shelf life—long-term savings and practical logistics with police gas mask filters that will remain usable for half an officer’s career.
  • Weighs in at just 290 grams (10.2 oz) with a diameter of just 111 mm (4.3 inches).
  • Based on MIRA Safety filter design used by military personnel, CBRN specialists, and special operations forces all over the world.
  • Certified by European agencies and bearing the “CE” symbol, compliant under EN 14387:2004 + A1:2008.

When Regular Filters Just Won’t Cut it

Police in many American cities have come to realize that the filters that came with their standard riot gear start to saturate and fail fairly quickly.

That’s where our new P-CAN police gas mask filter comes in. Designed specifically with the needs of riot police in mind, it can withstand prolonged exposure to all major riot control agents—in practically all climates—with a shelf life that spans half an officer’s career.

Environmental Considerations:

Thanks to its hydrophobic P3 filter, these police gas mask filters can be exposed to sustained heavy rainfall without water ingress. They’ve been tested to perform at temperatures as low as -32°C and exposed to temperatures of up to 159°F. They’re also functional in a full range of humidity—from 5% all the way up to 100%. Salt breeze will not deteriorate the filter, but prolonged exposure will limit it to a service life of 12–24 hours maximum.

Storage & Maintenance:

The filters are sealed in plastic bags by the manufacturer. Store the filters unopened in a clean area with an even temperature, preferably 23 to 86°F (-5 to +30°C) and relative humidity below 80%. The storage period (month and year) for filters is clearly marked on the filter label. Do not try to regenerate the filters. Never clean the filters with compressed air or compressed water.

Disposal:

After use, remove from the respirator and treat the filter as special refuse and dispose of as solid waste in accordance with current waste treatment regulations based on the substance(s) filtered (gases or particles). Please consult the appropriate local authority and/or regulations for disposal advice and locations.

Return Policy:

For MIRA Safety products, we adhere to the MIRA Safety return policy, prioritizing the safety and wellbeing of our customers above all else. Given the critical nature of the products we offer, and to ensure their integrity, we do not accept returns once items have shipped from our warehouse.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of gases does the MIRA Safety P-CAN Police Gas Mask Filter protect against?

The P-CAN filter offers up to 12 hours of reliable protection against riot control agents. This extended duration is due to its high capacity of activated carbon, which is nearly three times that of competing filters. However, the actual duration may vary depending on the concentration of gases and environmental conditions. It's crucial to monitor the exposure levels and replace the filter as needed to maintain optimal protection.

How long does the MIRA Safety P-CAN filter provide protection?

The P-CAN filter offers up to 12 hours of reliable protection against riot control agents. This extended duration is due to its high capacity of activated carbon, which is nearly three times that of competing filters.
