Frontline 500 NFPA 1990 Certified Vapor Total Encapsulating Suit - Ultimate Protection for Hazardous Materials Handling

Product Description: Frontline 500 NFPA 1990 Certified Vapor Total Encapsulating Suit The Frontline 500 NFPA 1990 (1991) certified vapor total encapsulating suit, model F5H582-91, is designed for professionals engaged in hazardous materials handling, with a focus on safety and protection. This suit meets essential industry standards while offering a range of practical features for optimal performance in high-risk environments. Certification and Chemical Protection The Frontline 500 is certified to NFPA 1990 (1991), providing three-way protection that encompasses broad chemical holdout, flame resistance, and radiant heat protection. This certification includes both base requirements and additional standards for flash-fire and liquefied gas hazards. It serves as an effective solution for those responding to situations where hazardous materials are present, particularly in scenarios involving potential flash-fires. Suit Features - Sealed Seams and Double Storm Flaps: The suit features robust sealed seams and double storm flaps equipped with flame-resistant hook and loop closures, enhancing the integrity and reliability of the suit against chemical exposure. - Gas-Tight Zipper: An AquaSeal® gas-tight zipper ensures a secure fit, making the process of donning and doffing easier without compromising safety. - Ventilation and Comfort: Two exhaust valves are integrated into the design, promoting comfort during prolonged use while maintaining a secure seal against hazardous materials. - Visor System: The expanded view anti-fog visor system with an additional FEP overlay offers improved visibility and safety for the wearer, a critical feature during emergency response scenarios. - Field Replaceability: The field-replaceable 2N1® glove system and removable Nomex overgloves provide ease of maintenance and extend the life of the suit, while eliminating issues like inner glove inversion. - Durable Fabric: Constructed from a vapor barrier fabric that meets ASTM F739 permeation testing standards, the suit assures durability and a high level of protection against various chemicals. Safety Considerations With a performance rating indicating 0% body burn in Pyroman thermal manikin testing, the Frontline 500 provides excellent survivability against flash-fire conditions, making it an appropriate choice for emergency responders and industrial workers who require high protection levels. The absence of PFAS Chemistry in the fabric further addresses potential safety concerns related to material composition. Applications Common applications for the Frontline 500 suit include hazmat response operations and chemical handling processes where flash-fire risks are present. This suit is intended as a 'multi-use, single exposure' garment, presenting a cost-effective alternative to traditional flame-resistant reusables while still ensuring necessary safety measures. In summary, the Frontline 500 NFPA 1990 certified vapor total encapsulating suit encompasses essential features designed for professionals who work in hazardous environments, prioritizing safety, comfort, and durability.
