The SE-shield series of protective suits are specially made for use with the SE400 respirator. All suits can be pressurised by the fan unit through a special ventilation valve on the breathing hose. The internal air flow means that inward leakage is minimised, and adds a sense of comfort and coolness.

Domestic preparedness suit made of Tychem F® material for protection against bio-chemical warfare agents, such as mustard gas and many other substances

Inward leakage:

One unique feature of the SE-SHIELD suit is that it can be used with a pressurisation hose which turns the suit into a positive pressure suit. Inward leakage into the suit if using pressurisation hose is typically 0.1%
