Description:

Garment approved for protection against radioactive contamination, of ventilated, pressurized type, for single use.
Designed for use on the breathable air network in nuclear enclosures.
This type of airtight coverall has a double back closure, an air regulation system and internal distribution.
Exhaust is via two patented magnetic valves.
This garment is fire-protected, and is principally made of PVC 20/100. Assembly by High Frequency welding which does not impair the qualities of the PVC.

Accessories:

Translucent window for wiewing dosimeter. Can be fitted with a mask in alumini zed Kevlar Carbon and a protective screen with an optoelectronic filter for welding.,br>Sizes available: T2 to T 5 (M L XL XXL, T1 and T6 on request).

Uses:

This type of coverall is used in most western European nuclear power plant for a number of reasons:

Easy to put on and take off / Excellent protection factor (>80 000) / Comfortable (good ventilation, low noise level <75 dB, large armhole) / Large visual field / Very good mechanical strength (abrasion, perforation, tearing etc.) / Light (weight of whole : 1.6 kg) / Undressing strip, tearable safety strip / Elbows and knees reinforcement / Laces to tie the booties / Under-foot antiskid / Loop for the feeding pipe.

Supplementary information:

The coverall is certified for an air supply flow between:
Minimum flow : 500 l/min ± 10 % for a supply pressure of 6 bar.
Maximum fow : 1050 l/min ± 10 % for a supply pressure of 6 bar.
Before undertaking any operation, the user will ensure that he has available the necessary devices to be able to check that the minimum airflow provided for by the manufacturer is reached or exceeded before and during use the equipment.

Description:

This pressure suit was developed to meet the requirements of level 4 biomedical research laboratories (BioSafety Level 4) : unknown, emerging, collection, highly contagious viruses or viruses without any existing treatment.

This type of pressure suit has a sealed closing system, an internal air control and distribution system, an HEPA filter and a pair of PVC boots attached to the suit.

The exhaust is thought two patented magnetic valves.

This suit is made of fabric backed PVC assembly by high frequency welding designed not to be detrimental to the properties of the PVC.

It has been evaluated according the standard concerning clothing providing protection against radioactive contamination in the form of particles of the ventilated and pressurized type. It is of the reusable type.

Uses:

This pressure suit can be used in any type of laboratory where there is a high risk of biological or particulate contamination, accordingly the suit offers:

An excellent protection factor (>100 000) / Easy to put on and take off / Comfort (good ventilation, low noise level <70 dB, wide sleeves) / Wide field of view /Very good mechanical strength (abrasion, piercing, tearing...) / Light weight (coverall weight: 3.6 kg).

To facilitates its use, the pressure suit also has:

4 fittings for hanging it after use / 1 loop for the supply pipe / 1 inside pocket to contain independent voice communications system / Sleeve cuffs to permit the use of different types of protection gloves to suit to the type of work being handled.

Supplementary information:

The pressure suit is certified for an air supply flow rate included between:
Minimum flow : 470 l/min ± 10 % for a supply pressure of 5.4 bar.
Maximum fow : 950 l/min ± 10 % for a supply pressure of 5.4 bar.

Decontaminating the pressure suit: refer to the user manual.
Before using the coverall, the user must set up all the devices needed to check that the minimum airflow required by the manufacturer is reached or exceeded before and during the use of the equipment.
