Features and Benefits

Full facepiece respiratory protection against certain gases and particulates
Lightweight aluminum canister
Full line of canisters available

Principles of Operation

Upon inhalation, contaminated air enters the gas mask canister, where it is filtered before reaching the wearer, who breathes in only clean, fresh air.

Approvals and Standards

The MSA Chin-Type gas mask has been certified by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). The specific numbers are shown under ordering information for each mask type.

Hazards

Toxic Atmosphere Non-IDLH

Product Information

Provides respiratory protection against particulate matter, vapors and gases by means of a lightweight, replaceable canister. The small, oval-shaped aluminum canister and facepiece are designed to permit downward head movement. This comfortable, lightweight model is an alternative to the heavier models and is designed for respiratory protection against a specific gas or group of gases as indicated by canister identification. The gas mask assembly has the following Maximum Use Conditions: Entry - 100% the Permissible Exposure Level; do not exceed the Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH) concentration. Escape - contaminant concentrations up to the maximum use concentration of the gas mask (generally 5,000 ppm (0.5%) by volume; see canister selection chart for details), providing there is adequate oxygen (19.5% by volume) to support life. At these upper use conditions, the service time may be as short as 12 minutes. Also available as a belt-mounted version which allows the wearer to attach the canister to a belt clip and uses a corrugated breathing tube to connect the canister to the facepiece.

WARNING: Do not use for fire fighting.

Hazards

Toxic Atmosphere Non-IDLH

Product Information

Depending upon the type and concentration of contaminant and length of service time required, MSA offers three canister models, including Type N or Super-Size, Industrial-Size and Chin-Type. The canisters are seamless to prevent leakage or channeling of gases/vapors past the chemical sorbents, kept fresh by sealing tape on the bottom air intake, which also prevents moisture from entering the canister before use. They are easy to use and store because of their compact oval shape, labeled as to type and limitations and are color-coded for fast and accurate recognition.

Product Information

Offer respiratory protection against a specific gas or group of gases, as indicated by canister identification. The gas mask assembly has the following Maximum Use Condition: Entry - 100x the Permissible Exposure Level; do not exceed the Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH) concentration. Escape - contaminant concentrations up to the maximum use concentration of the gas mask (generally, 20,000 ppm (2% by volume); see canister selection chart for details), providing there is adequate oxygen (19.5% by volume) to support life. At these upper use conditions, the service time may be as short as 12 minutes. The Super-Size gas mask has an extra-large canister, which will last approximately twice as long as the equivalent Industrial-Size canister because of a larger volume of chemical fill.
