Asbestos protection
December 1st 2005

Available from Draeger, the Panorama BelAir GC TM3 power-assisted filtering device combines a full face piece with a hose and high capacity P3 filters, and is suitable for use up to 500 times the limit value.

Effective where high levels of asbestos dust may be present and where there is a risk that filters may become clogged, it features a positive pressure mask.

Designed to ease breathing, the mask helps increase protection by reducing the possibility of inward leakage of contaminants.
