Respirex PRPS Suit

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

• Manufactured from DuPont™ Tychem® TK, a high performance, lightweight, multi-layer chemical barrier material

• Respiratory system comprising a battery powered 3M Jupiter air filter unit fitted with a visual display unit mounted inside the suit at the base of the visor, and audible alarm

• Battery pack provides 1 hour operational use, plus 15 minutes for decontamination

• Twin JRF-85 gas & particle filters to provide protection against chemical and biological warfare agents

• Semi-rigid laminated visor

• Heavy duty gas tight zip fitted across the chest enclosed by double external storm flaps with VELCRO® brand hook and loop fastener

• Gas tight locking cuff mechanism

• Highly chemically resistant Hazmax™ safety boots permanently attached to suit

• Supplied with lightweight disposable Hazbag to quarantine the suit after use

• Available in a range of sizes.

• Powered respirator and loose-fitting hood provide cooling air over the head and through the suit, making the wearer more comfortable and better able to focus on tasks.

• The loose-fitting hood design provides high protection without the need for a tight-fitting face piece, which means:

• Many wearers feel less constricted

• Can be used by wearers with facial hair

• Training needs are reduced

• Face-fit testing is not required

• The clear wide-view visor provides reassurance to casualties and victims by allowing easier, friendly ‘whole-face’ communication.

• The total weight of the PRPS suit with respirator is much less than a gas-tight suit with SCBA, less body contact (belt-mount versus shoulder-harness / tight-fitting face piece), and easier breathing results in a lower physiological load.

• Improved operational duration over gas-tight SCBA suits.

• Up to six times the resource efficiency compared with gas-tight SCBA suits thanks to the lower physiological loading and increased duration.

• Uncontaminated or ‘decontamination-guaranteed’ suits can be re-used following gas-tight re-test and re-certification.

• Reusable PVC training suit - PRPS(T)

• Primary (single-use) lithium battery for Immediate operational use, and rechargeable battery for training use

• Optional rehydration system and hard-hat

• Choice of lightweight dexterity gloves for medical tasks or heavy-duty gloves for increased physical protection
