The Equipment

PARTICULATE BLOCKING FLASH HOOD

The flame-retardant hoods with a membrane, protect the transition region between the jacket collar and the helmet-mask combination. In this way the contact of cancer-causing substances with the skin in this area is reduced. Prevent® particulate blocking barrier excels in breathability and air permeability performance.

PARTICULATE BLOCKING SKIRT

The structural jacket has in addition a multi layered wicking barrier to ensure maximum coverage.

PARTICULATE BLOCKING GAITER

Further closures of lining laminate in the trouser legs prevents the penetration of flue gas.

Fluorescent Aerosol Screening Test (FAST)

In cooperation with LION Group Inc. and the North Carolina State University an initial prototype for the permeability of critical substances in differing positions and movements was tested at the RTI International in June 2016.
With the aid of a spray of fluorescent particles it was possible under black light to determine those points at which the particles touched the skin of the test person.

Examination of the black-light images showed no permeation of substances through to the skin in the case of the patented closures from the LION Group Inc.
