The garment is made from a laminate material that creates an ultra lightweight Level A suit with outstanding strength, integrity and chemical resistance. In addition, its chemical barrier is imbedded on the inside of the material giving added protection from abrasion and scratches.
“Our innovative technology in protective garment design has allowed us to produce a Level A garment certified to NFPA 1991–2005 that weighs around 4kg,” says David Mack, general manager of Trelleborg-Viking, based in Mansfield, MA.
“This is lighter than any other NFPA 1991–2005 certified garment, which typically weighs anywhere from 4.5 to 9kg. Being lighter, it provides major benefits to the wearer in terms of comfort, ease of use and reduction of heat stress.”
Blue in colour, the new garment provides:
- An impact-resistant hard visor
- Large and clear viewing area
- Easy don/doff Trellchem bayonet glove ring system
- No overcover required for full certification
- Upgradable ventilation system
- Integrated anti-fog lens eliminates condensation.
