PPS INTRODUCE DEDICATED DECON INCIDENT SUIT RANGE
What is believed to be the first dedicated range of protective suits designed not just to embrace every area of a decontamination incident, but also for use in decontamination-incident training, is being offered by Professional Protection Systems.
There are four suits in the new range. The first is designed as an incident control suit, the second is a full decontamination suit, the third is an NBC escape suit and the fourth has been designed for training purposes.
Incident Control (cold zone) suit: A chemical-splash suit made from Zytron 300 this suit features a double storm
A multi purpose combination filter manufactured from micro fibre and organic compounds offers a particulation retention efficiency of 99.999@ 95 litres per minute. The suit is completed with slip roof safety boots and neoprene gloves. The boots are both chemical and oil resistant and can stand hot contact up to 300ºC. Non-slip and resistant to UV and Ozone the gloves are chemical resistant to EN374 and offer mechanical protection up to EN 388.
Full Decontamination Suit: A chemical splash suit made from Zytron 400 this all enveloping one piece comes with a clear PVC visor with a Teflon overlay. If features a unique neck seal and an internally worn air blower system with combination filtering canisters. The blower unit is manufactured from Polycarbonate/ABS and is powered by a nickel metal hydride high capacity battery with an eight hour run time. Weighing 2258 gms it features a chargeable on or off power unit and a battery lock system. It has a lock bayonet hose connector, an audio and visual battery alarm in the event of a blocked filter and an intelligent battery charger that prevents overcharging. Boots and gloves are the same specification as the Incident Control Suit.
NBC Escape Suit: When tested by the US Army Soldier Biological Chemical Command it was established that this suit’s respiratory factor exceeded US army requirements. One of the features of this suit is the hood. It has been deliberately designed with plenty of space as an anti-claustrophobic feature. This means it can accommodate larger head sizes or an unusually full head of hair, as well as somebody wearing spectacles, with ease. The large visor on this unit has a permanent anti-fog coating and provides the wearer with a wide and clear outward view.
Breathing is via a snorkel type mouthpiece. This is sealed through the front of the hood and attached to a plastic cartridge. A gas tight seal is formed between the wearer’s lips and the mouthpiece so that the air inside the mouthpiece is completely isolated from the air inside the hood. This means that if the integrity of the hood or the neck seal is compromised, for any reason, the wearer can still enjoy clean air though the mouthpiece.
Training Suit: Because all the “front line” suits in the PPS decontamination range are as a matter of necessity of limited life it would not be economic to use them in a training situation. For this reason PPS have developed a training suit which simulates the wearing characteristics of the others in the range but at a fraction of the price.
Made from lightweight PVC and clearly marked “training suit” this unit is a simple one piece with an optically clear PVC visor and a standard non-gas tight zip across the chest. It features an internally worn air blower system.
