3M has launched a softhead top range for use with its powered and supplied air respirators, created to pharmaceutical client specifications.
The range of soft headcovers and hoods has been designed to combat existing concerns on protection and comfort, and have an Assigned Protection Factor of 40.
The headcovers have been designed with fully integrated suspension; users can simply attach the 3M powered or supplied air equipment and they are ready to go.
They are suitable for applications that require frequent replacement of the entire headtop assembly, such as pharmaceutical manufacturing, or in situations where there is a low level of soiling of the outer fabric.
The hoods can also be a cost-effective choice for some high disposal rate environments; just the soiled fabric is replaced, while the suspension and the air ducting can be reused.
The hoods also have an externally-adjustable airflow control that allows wearers to modify the airflow distribution to suit the each person.
