BE-12 Series "Tychem QC" Head Covers
These lightweight head covers provide protection for a range of applications when used with the 3M "Air-Mate" and "Breathe Easy" PAPR (Powered Air Purifying Respirator) systems. Each cover uses natural rubber elastic in both the head suspension and face seal and features a polycoated Tyvek material with "Tychem QC" for added strength and durability.
The BE-12 Series head cover is designed to be a loose fitting, positive pressure respiratory inlet covering. It offers splash protection against many inorganic acids, bases and other liquid chemicals such as pesticides. The head cover features a wide-view clear faceshield of "Tychem QC" construction fitted around the head with an elastic face seal. It is held in place on the head by a sewn-in, elastic headband. Breathing air is supplied from a breathing tube connected to a snap-in hose connector, which is sewn into the back of the head cover. Breathing air travels through the open space at the top of the head cover, down over the user's face and down through the holes in faceseal.
These loose fitting facepieces, when combined with an appropriate powered air purifying blower unit (PAPR), are designed to provide respiratory protection against certain particulates (dusts, fumes, mists, radionuclides and asbestos), organic vapors, acid gases and other inorganic gases.
Caution - Head cover is designed for use with the 520-03-32R01 breathing tube. Users should be clean-shaven where the respirator's faceseal comes into contact with the user's face. Also wearers should have no adverse sensitivity to natural rubber.
