This particular air-purifying respirator is known as the W95 filter self-rescuer. It will provide you with 240 minutes of escape time (for one-use only) from dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide (CO) may be found in situations where there are underground explosions or mine fires. The W95 is immediately ready to use once opened and is ideal for applications that require an extended escape route.
The integrated CO filter is an oxidation catalyst, which works to convert CO to carbon dioxide. The integral heat exchanger will reduce the temperature of inhalation air to a more comfortable level. Any expired air is passed through a heat exchanged and a spring-loaded exhalation valve and into the ambient air.
An additional feature of the MSA W95 air-purifying respirator is the Hopcalite pre-filter which helps to extend the service life.
Comes with a latex-free mouthpiece and a nose clip
Head-harness is adjustable which allows for a better fit
Can be used hands-free
Stainless steel casing is robust and helps maintain life expectancy
Small device which is low in weight
Other filter self-rescuers in this range are available from Frontline Safety
This is a serious value-for-money bit of kit. If you’re new to roof safety, a conscientious DIYer, or a veteran who needs some new gear - this is probably for you! If you need a rescue system after a fall, you’ll need more than this kit.
More than happy with this company. They had the mask in stock, I also needed some info on it and Jim was more than helpful. I would recommend anyone looking for PPE to give them a call if you can't see it online.
