Lakeland PAPR suits combine a fully encapsulating design with a rugged, german-made PAPR blower unit.

The PAPR blower draws filtered air into the suit both to provide air and to create a constant positive pressure, exiting the suit via three rear-mounted one-way valves. The result is a chemical hazmat suit that combines:

• High level protection derived from the fully encapsulating design and positive pressure.
• A high level of comfort resulting from the constant supply of air into the suit.

Most chemical suits are uncomfortable to wear, and real wear time is limited by how long the wearer can bear the discomfort. With Lakeland PAPR suits, wear time is limited only by the Safe-Wear Time according to the chemical toxity and by the battery life of the PAPR blower!

Lakeland PAPR Hazmat suits are available in three fabrics, MicroMax® TS, ChemMax® 1, and ChemMax® 3.

ChemMax® 3 PAPR can be used with PermaSURE® to calculate real-world Safe-Wear Times for over 2,400 chemicals.
