ILC Dover - Chemturion Model 35

Making your own Hazmat Suit
Chemturion - Extended Wear Model 35
Biological/ Chemical Protective Suit

The Chemturion Model 35, a totally encapsulating biological/ chemical protective suit developed and manufactured by ILC Dover, Inc., has proven itself ideal for use in laboratory environments. This conformally fitting Cloropel™ suit with its 3000 visor offers definite benifits where prolonged use and space limitations often cause worker fatigue. High volume airflow, made possible by multiple exhaust valves, supplies added cooling. These combined features provide comfort during extended wear thus increasing efficiency and productivity.




Air Supply: Umbilical-fed air is directed into a 1/4 inch NPT brass fitting. Positive air pressure is maintained in the suit by four exhaust valves, two located in the legs and two located in the upper back. Each valve is protected by an integral splash cover.

Ventilation: The suit air distribution system is metered to the arms and legs for cooling and to the hood spray bar for CO2 wash, breating, cooling and defogging. The hood vent assembly contains an air noise suppressor to allow normal communication through the suit wall.

Entry: Suit entry is from the front.

Closure: Outer extruded closure in conjunction with inner restraint zipper. Outer extruded closure made of Cloropel™ itlilizes two parallel sealing lips, providing an effective penetration barrier.

Hood/ Visor: The hood contains press-polished optical grade 40 mil vinyl in the visual area. Internal easement permits head movement for 300 degrees of vision.

Contruction: The suit is designed to minimize seams and permit user mobility without excessive suit shifting. The seams are dielectrically heat-sealed. The suit incorporates molded wrist cuffs with mating rubber wrist rings for attachment of your own chemical protective gloves. The suit legs terminate in integral booties worn inside your own chemical protective boots.

Materials: Suit - 20 mil light blue Cloropel™ (chlorinated polythene), Visor - 40 mil vinyl.

Sizes: The suit is available in four sizes to fit 5'00" to 6'6". A belt is added to support optional equipment and to allow a more conformal fit.

Weight: Approximately 4 pounds.
