The Protector series from the Kansas City, Missouri, US-based firm provides inlet and outlet HEPA or ULPA filtration and a leak-tight physical barrier to protect the operator from exposure to potentially hazardous materials.
The glove boxes feature particulate containment <20ng/m3 as confirmed by Safebridge Consultants and also meet ISO Class 4 standards.
During perimeter scan testing 0.05ppm average tracer gas levels or less can be detected during perimeter scan testing (surpasses ASHRAE 110 standards) after five-minute dilution.
Airborne particulate cleanliness exceeds ISO Class 5 conditions (equivalent to Class 100) and achieves ISO Class 4 conditions.
In addition, the Protector features a test port for challenging HEPA or ULPA filter integrity; a bag-in/bag-out filter disposal system for safe filter removal and replacement; and an LCD display that provides realtime monitoring of volume dilution rates in cubic feet per minute (CFM), air changes/minute (ACM), and main chamber pressure (inches of water).
The neoprene gloves are 0.015in thick, 30in long and size 9 ¾ and the two 8in ID epoxy coated aluminium double-grooved glove ports are mounted 17in apart.
