e-breathe Chemical Blue

Liquid-tight chemical protective suit with powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR)

The e-breathe Chemical Blue respiratory protective suit is a one-piece, liquid-tight chemical protective suit with integrated powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) designed for professional use in contaminated, hazardous, and demanding working environments. Developed for industrial applications, hazardous material operations, decontamination, emergency services, medical personnel, and first responders, the system combines a high level of protection, ergonomic wearing comfort, and maximum freedom of movement.

The protective suit is manufactured from Chemprotex™ 300, a high-performance five-layer chemical barrier laminate that is lightweight and incorporates a spunbond inner lining for enhanced wearer comfort. It protects the wearer against a wide range of industrial chemicals and other hazardous substances commonly encountered in civilian emergency response operations.

Thanks to the integrated respiratory protection system with continuous airflow supply, the protective suit is ideally suited for extended periods of use under high physical strain.

Chemical protective suit with powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) e-breathe Chemical Blue

1) Large visor for optimum panoramic visibility The generously sized, semi-rigid laminated visor is chemical-resistant and provides clear, distortion-free panoramic visibility as well as excellent orientation, even in demanding operational environments.
2) Comfortable hood with space for additional equipment The spacious hood allows the wearer to use a safety helmet and/or a communication system/headset when required.
3) Neck seal Soft, breathable neck seal with elasticated fit for enhanced wearing comfort.
4) Liquid-tight zipper A liquid-tight front zipper with an additional protective flap and hook-and-loop closure allows the user to don the suit independently. Additional taping for sealing is not required.
5) Exhaust valves for improved cooling Two exhaust valves positioned above the knees maintain a comfortable working pressure inside the suit and create a cooling airflow from the hood across the wearer’s body. This significantly improves the internal climate and wearer comfort.
6) Inside version: Internal powered air respirator The e-Flow powered air respirator is worn inside the suit and supplies airflow of 160–180–200 l/min to the head area of the suit via a breathing hose. A transparent chemical-resistant viewing window allows the wearer to monitor the battery status, filter status, and airflow of the powered air-purifying respirator.
7) Filter replacement without removing the protective suit The powered air respirator can be operated with two external particulate or combination filters featuring EN 148-1 standard threaded connections. The filters are securely positioned on the rear of the protective suit beneath a splash protection cover. In combination with the new e-breathe GSA Adapter 2 with integrated shut-off valves on each filter connection, the filters can also be replaced during operation without removing the protective suit. This enables uninterrupted and safe working in contaminated environments.

Optional equipment components for chemical protective suits | e-breathe Chemical Blue

Kemblok™ glove system (optional)

Permanently welded chemical protective gloves with additional barrier technology for enhanced protection. The Kemblok™ gloves incorporate the proven chemical barrier technology of the Chemprotex 300 material while providing even greater chemical resistance through two additional barrier layers. The outer neoprene gloves are designed to provide mechanical protection. The elastic outer sleeve prevents liquids from entering the gloves.

Push-Fit glove replacement system (optional)

The suit can be equipped with a Push-Fit glove replacement system. This enables a liquid-tight connection between the glove and the protective suit. The cuff and cone assembly allows the attachment of a wide range of gloves, from industrial chemical protective gloves to sensitive surgical gloves.

 

Integrated sock foot (optional)

An integrated sock foot designed for use with safety boots worn on the outside of the protective suit. An external splash guard helps prevent liquids from entering the boots.

Integrated overboot (optional)

Integrated overboot with slip-resistant sole and elasticated ankle fit for use with footwear worn inside the protective suit.
