Description
This garment is approved for protection against high radioactive contamination, where high air flow for heat stress cooling and maintaining a high protection factor (PF) is required. The system involves the integration of a high-powered blowing unit and four (4) high efficiency particle filter cartridges. The Micronel blowing unit enables the user to receive filtered air which is circulated to the user, thus insuring maximum cooling and protection. This one-of-a-kind suit system liberates the user of a conventional supplied air line, thus giving the worker total freedom of movement to perform his job function. Conventional PAPR systems don't even come close in performance in two vital areas, protection and comfort. The BLU offers the highest air flow combined with uncompromised full body protection. Ideal for hot and highly contaminated areas where you need the absolute best protection, mobility and comfort.
