The OptimAir 6A is designed to provide air flow in excess of the NIOSH required minimum flow rate. Air pressure in the facepiece or hood is higher than the surrounding atmosphere, so that in the event of a small leak in the facepiece/hood seal, air will flow from inside the facepiece or hood to the outside.This positive facepiece pressure is maintained,even under high work rates. The constant flow of air also provides a cooling effect to the wearer’s face.

For improved worker efficiency, the OptimAir 6A (when equipped with a tight-fitting facepiece) permits fast battery changeovers, even in contaminated atmospheres. To change batteries, simply remove the old pack & replace it with a fully charged one. During changeovers, the respirator functions as a negative-pressure device, providing continuous protection.

Belt-mounted motor/blower unit has a highly efficient 4.6v long-life motor & threaded connectors for quick & easy attachment of cartridges. The sealed, rechargeable battery pack is designed to sustain a charge for an entire eight-hour shift under most operating conditions. Each OptimAir 6A PAPR is supplied with a battery charger that provides a full charge in about 16 hours. A dual-rate charger that provides faster charging & over-charge protection is also available. 30” corrugated breathing tube (or a 19” version when used with a hood) connects the blower unit to the facepiece. A coupling nut allows for easy detachment & cleaning of the tube, while a threaded connector on the blower unit further simplifies removal & cleaning.

The Ultravue and Millennium full facepiece masks come in 3 sizes. Ultravue facepieces come in silicone or Hycar rubber and have a scratch-resistant polycarbonate lens that provides a wide field of vision. Optional lens covers provide even greater scratch resistance. For welding applications, an optional welder’s adapter integrates with the Ultravue Facepiece for added eye protection. The Ultravue Facepiece features an inhalation check valve and an exhalation valve that work together to help prevent exhaled air from entering the breathing tube and contaminating the motor/blower assembly. An integral speaking diaphragm provides intelligible short-range voice communications. The optional ESP Communications System enables crystal-clear, longer-range, voice amplification

Tyvek Hood - The Tyvek hood is designed primarily for workers with beards and other physical features that might interfere with the facial seal of a tight-fitting facepiece. It is available in either shoulder or waist-length versions. Both feature a knit collar for comfort. The hood has a high-performance air distribution system that helps keep the hood lens fog-free. Its disposable outer cover eliminates the inconvenience and expense of cleaning. For added protection, the hood can accommodate a hardhat whenever head protection is required.When a hardhat is not worn a simple hood suspension system securely holds the hood.
