 Girls wear masks, too..Yes, I know, many visitors
wish to see girls wearing gasmasks, but good pictures of this is very difficult to find,

 This Full
Face Mask is know of any collector or user of hazmat equipment, made of a soft EPDM rubber
mixture, which gives the mask great sealing properties,  the mask is 'nice' to wear, if a
respirator can be a nice thing to wear. A 5 point harness secure the mask effectively on
the wearers head. |
 Drägers newest full
face mask, the Dräger Futura mask, in which the hole front is a big
visor, which gives the wearer a great view. |
 The Interspiro mask, is
very much the same as the Divator full face
diving mask, the biggest difference between these two are the front-visor, which is
bending on 'the dry one' ,
and the regulator isn't made for underwater breathing, but can in case of emergencies be
used for underwater breathing.
The mask is often used in conjunction with Trellchem® Chemical
Protective suits, because of the rubber bonded hood on the suit, is make to fit the
Interspiro mask very well. |
 Kemira from Finland
also makes full face respirators, the yellow model on the picture is the Sari
full face mask made of silicon-rubber. The Sari full face mask is also
available on nature-rubber and Chloreprene-rubber. |

More about the Dräger
Panorama Nova Mask
| The Panorama Nova Mask, which came on the market in 1979, is available in
2 types of material, EPDM and silicone, the EPDM mask is far the most common, but the
silicone mask is also seen. The main difference between these two masks, is that the EPDM
mask is black and the silicone mask is yellow. Other differences is that the silicon mask
is sealing better than the EPDM, but silicone isn't so force-resistant as EPDM, but the
chemical-resistance is better at the silicone mask. |
