Certain PAPR systems provide a higher level of respiratory protection than non-powered air filtering respirators. Constant flow of air can provide cooling for the worker, thus resulting in greater comfort for the wearer. Battery-powered blower pulls the air through the filter resulting in no additional breathing resistance to the wearer.

• Delivers a minimum of 4cfm when used with the filter
• It uses the popular 6000 Series facepiece and its faceshield meets High Impact Requirements of ANSI Z87.1-2003

• Approved for use with high efficiency particulate filter only
• Up to eight hours of battery service
