THE RIGHT PPE FOR THE JOB<br />
Dräger X-plore® 8000<br />
Low limit values classify even more workplaces as environments th<strong>at</strong><br />
compromise the quality of air. The Dräger X-plore® 8000 PAPR offers a new<br />
level of intuitive handling combined with intelligent electronics. The result?<br />
The highly reliable personal protection you need to focus on the task <strong>at</strong> hand.<br />
At very high concentr<strong>at</strong>ions, independent air supplying bre<strong>at</strong>hing protection<br />
should be used. This can be a self-contained bre<strong>at</strong>hing appar<strong>at</strong>us or a<br />
compressed airline system which can be chosen either as belt unit or as Self-<br />
Contained Bre<strong>at</strong>hing Appar<strong>at</strong>us (SCBA).<br />
Dräger X-plore® 9000 and PAS X-plore®<br />
The new Dräger X-plore® 9000 series is designed for light duty industrial<br />
applic<strong>at</strong>ions and provides comfortable and reliable respir<strong>at</strong>ory protection.<br />
Thanks to such fe<strong>at</strong>ures as the p<strong>at</strong>ented safe-flow reducer and autotest<br />
function, wearers can enjoy more oper<strong>at</strong>ing convenience, safety, and<br />
flexibility.<br />
Dräger PAS® Lite<br />
For use in industrial applic<strong>at</strong>ions where a simple, robust, and easy-to-use<br />
bre<strong>at</strong>hing appar<strong>at</strong>us is required, the Dräger PAS® Lite combines reliability<br />
with comfort and performance.<br />
Splash-tight suits, e.g. Dräger SPC 4X00<br />
These suits are used when a person’s skin has to be protected from the<br />
harmful effects of carcinogenic liquids. If there is a risk th<strong>at</strong> the entire body<br />
may come into contact with solid or liquid chemicals, complete coveralls are<br />
the only way to ensure full protection.<br />
Gas-tight suits, e.g. Dräger CPS 5800 or CPS 6800<br />
A wide range from disposable to reusable gas-tight chemical protection<br />
suits are available for industrial applic<strong>at</strong>ions and oper<strong>at</strong>ions th<strong>at</strong> involve<br />
gaseous, liquid or solid substances. If you are looking for protection<br />
against cryogenic substances like 1,3-butadiene, ethylene oxide and<br />
vinyl chloride, then the Dräger CPS 6800 chemical protective suit is the<br />
right choice.<br />
Caution: The explosive n<strong>at</strong>ure of substance like 1,3-butadien,<br />
acrylonitrile, ethylene oxide, and vinyl chloride means special<br />
<strong>at</strong>tention must be paid to the anti-st<strong>at</strong>ic properties of the PPE,<br />
especially of the suit, gloves and shoes. In explosion-prone areas,<br />
the protective equipment must be adequ<strong>at</strong>ely earthed to ensure it<br />
does not act as an indirect source of ignition. When removing any<br />
clothing th<strong>at</strong> may be contamin<strong>at</strong>ed, care must be taken to avoid<br />
contact with the harmful substance.<br />
