DESIGN

Trellchem® VPS comes in three different designs to fit all user preferences:

• Encapsulating design type CV
• Encapsulating design type VP1 (larger visor)
• Non-encapsulating design type T

GARMENT MATERIAL

A well-proven combination of rubber and a multilayer chemical barrier provides excellent chemical protec­tion for > 8 hours against a wide range of chemicals, as well as great abrasion and flame resistance.

SEAMS

The seams are stitched with aramid thread for superior strength and durability. On outside the seam is sealed with a glued-on rubber tape and on inside a welded-on barrier laminate tape. The welded-on barrier tape provides a continuous barrier layer across the seam, giving the same chemical protection as the garment material itself.

VISOR

The visor is made from a rigid 2 mm impact and chemical resistant PVC and comes in two optional sizes; CV or the larger VP1.

FACE SEAL

Non-encapsulating (type T) suits have a rubber face seal which is anatomically designed for optimum safety and comfort. Also, a Mini Hood comes with all Trellchem® type T suits.

ZIPPER

The standard zipper is a strong and durable gastight chloroprene rubber coated zipper. EN 943-2/ET certified suits are equipped with the Trellchem® HCR zipper, which includes a barrier film for increased chemical resistance. The zipper is closing downwards, for added safety, and is protected by a splash guard (flap).

VENTILATION

The Trellchem® Regulating valve has 3 ventilation rates (2, 30 and 100 l/min) plus zero/off position and is as an option also available in a passthrough version for use with external air supply.

FOOTWEAR

Suits can be fitted with either sewn-in socks/booties made of the garment material or attached Nitrile rubber safety boots with European approval as Firemen’s boots. The boots are fixed with an ergo­nomically designed ring attachment, for simplified boot exchange.
