Description
The SR580 Loose Fitting Hard Hat together with the SR500 / SR700 belt mounted Powered Air-Purifying Respirator (PAPR) protects against particulates, gases and vapors, or a combination of both. It is designed to be used in oxygen sufficient and non-immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) environments. The SR500 PAPR system functions as an alternative to Air Purifying Respirators (APR) in all situations for which these are recommended. This applies particularly to work that is hard, warm or of long-duration. The filtered air is supplied through a breathing hose to the SR 580 Loose Fitting Hard Hat. The above-atmospheric pressure generated prevents surrounding pollutants from penetrating into the breathing zone.
