The RAS Asbestos airline breathing apparatus set is a positive pressure set that provides the highest level of breathing protection. This breathing apparatus has an assigned protection factor of 2000, and is ideal for use in areas of high contaminants. The facemask is also fitted with a negative pressure filter to allow entry and egress to the working area where the challenge will be lower without the necessity to be connected to an airline. The new and unique wipe clean webbing provides a bandolier style harness that has a smooth surface, reducing the trapping of asbestos fibres and allowing for easier decontamination of the set after use. The inline particulate filter ensures that any fibres that may be present when the product is connected to the airline are removed from the breathing circuit.
This product is designed to to be used with Thermac's Blast and Breathe Units, and our Breathing Air Compressors, allowing you to work on projects where hazardous airborne contaminants may be present.

Commonly Asked Questions
How regularly should I examine my RPE for wear and tear?

It is recommended that regular RPE users should examine and maintain their equipment at least monthly, and infrequent users should monitor their equipment at least every 3 months. 

What face-fit test do I need for a full face mask?

Quantitative face-fit mask tests are used to test the fitting of full face masks. Quantitative fit testing (QNFT) provides a numerical measure of how well a facepiece seals against a wearer’s face; this is called a fit factor. These tests give an objective measure of face fit. Source: hse.gov.uk. 

Do I need to shave to wear a full face mask?

Yes - in order to form an effective seal around the face, users must be clean shaven to wear a full face mask. If users are unwilling to shave, a hooded or helmet face mask should be considered.

Can I wear glasses while using a full face mask?
No - to maintain a tight seal around the user's face, wearing spectacles is not suitable. Users are instead advised to wear contact lenses while using full face masks, or have prescription lenses fitted within the mask itself.
