Powered Respirator Protective Suit (PRPS)
The Respirex PRPS is a one-piece gas tight chemical protective suit manufactured from DuPont Tychem TK, a high performance multi-layer chemical barrier fabric. It is intended for use by emergency response personnel after a CBRN incident and is type approved and CE marked in accordance with requirements of EN943-2:2002 as a Type 1b-ET limited use gas tight suit.
The system has been tested against chemical warfare (CW) agents for permeation resistance and for respiratory protection against standard military challenges similar to those defined in the NATO respirator triptych D/103:1991.
The suit should be used once the nature of the potential hazard has been established by a process of detection, identification and monitoring.
