Cancer is a growing concern in our industry as more and more firefighters are diagnosed with this terrible disease than ever before. A recent multi-year study by the CDC on cancer among U.S. firefighters showed higher rates of certain types of cancer than among the general U.S. population. The study also provides evidence that these higher rates are directly related to occupational exposure.
INNOTEX GRAY is designed to address this very issue. This line of protective gear is made to mitigate the risk of carcinogenic particulate contamination while maintaining air permeability. Developed to meet the requirements of the proposed 2018 edition of the NFPA 1971, the particulate protective layer blocks particulates found in the combustion of structural fires as small as 0.1 UM. Yet that same layer also allows for air permeation, which is essential to prevent core temperature increase.
INNOTEX GRAY aims to protect multiple vulnerable areas, including the head, neck, wrists, waist and legs while maintaining comfort and mobility.
INNOTEX GRAY is used between the helmet and coat to protect a vulnerable area with a three-layer system. The middle layer blocks particulates while remaining air permeable with a smooth cooling inner viscose filament liner.
The material can also be used in wristlets to shield vulnerable area between sleeve and glove. Uninterrupted protection air permeable particulate blocking layer and lining. Storm band. Shields vulnerable area between the coat and pants. Elasticized interface device made of air permeable particulate blocking layer.
Lag gaiter shields vulnerable area between pants and boots. Elasticized gaiter made of air permeable particulate blocking layer.
