  • Puncture – 30.9 N
  • Flex cracking – 2500 cycles
  • Air permeability – Impermeable
  • Water vapour permeability – Impermeable
  • High temp – Seams open at +98°C
  • Low temp –  Flexibility down to –70°C
• Suit construction
  • Seams: Lap welded for extra strength
  • Visor seal: Fits tightly around the rim of the full face mask
  • SE400 hose: A hose sleeve fits around the entire length of the hose
  • SE400 filters: Sealed off from the interior of the suit by two threaded sealing rings
  • Gloves: Chemically impermeable gloves are fastened to the rigid sleeve rings with an airtight seal. The gloves are designed to be worn inside regular working gloves or rubber, leather or other materials. NOTE: The supplied gloves are impermeable and impregnable, but are not designed for mechanical wear and tear. Heavy-duty outer gloves of butyl rubber, leather or similar must be worn over the inner gloves.
