Fully Encapsulated Chemical Protective Suit with Panoramic Visor

Fully Encapsulated Chemical Protective Suit with Panoramic Visor

A one-piece encapsulating suit that covers the wearer head to foot, with a fixed hood, a wide panoramic visor and gloves sealed onto the sleeves. The body is cut wide through the shoulders and back so a breathing apparatus can be worn underneath, and the whole suit is finished in high-visibility red for a decontamination point where the wearer has to be picked out at a distance.

Key Features

• Full encapsulation — hood, torso, arms and legs are one continuous shell, so there is no waist joint or separate jacket for liquid to run into.

• Panoramic visor — a large curved window in the hood rather than a narrow face opening, which keeps peripheral vision usable when the wearer is working with both hands.

• Gloves attached at the sleeve — the black gloves are joined to the sleeve ends, so the wrist is not a gap that a splash can reach.

• Wide back and shoulder cut — the back of the suit is shaped with space for a back-mounted air cylinder, which is why the rear panel stands proud of the body in the side view.

• High-visibility red shell — a colour chosen so the wearer stands out at a decontamination shower or in smoke, rather than blending into the plant.

• Elasticated ankle over boots — the trouser ends gather over yellow rubber boots, keeping the boot top covered while leaving the sole free.

• Front closure under a flap — the opening runs down the front and is covered by a flap, so the closure is not the first surface a jet of chemical meets.

• Worn with breathing apparatus — the design is intended for entry work where the air supply is carried by the wearer, not supplied from a fixed line.

Typical Applications

Chemical spill first response, tank and pipe repair entry, pesticide and solvent handling, hazardous waste clean-up, and the decontamination line itself, where the wearer passes through a shower still suited and the suit has to keep working while wet.
