Hot Shield USA supplies through our dealers, a disposable N-95 style
filter mask that can be inserted into the integral filter pocket of the
HS-2 or used independently during mop-up (no heat hazard). The filter
gives some additional structure to the HS-2 as well as assisting in
vapor & particulate absorption/filtration.
Advantages: Ours is inexpensive & adequate for
the intermittent use the HS-2 is designed for. Also, we designed the
HS-2 so that, in a pinch, you can install just about any brand of
disposable filter with exhalation valve. Nearly all N-95 filters are
made in the same shape. Just check to see that the valve is centered in
the middle of the filter. another brand of filter. You are not committed
to buying an expensive filter from only one company for the life of the
mask.
Materials: Steam activated carbon sandwiched by
cotton media filtration cloth with exhalation valve. Supplied with thin
rubber straps and an aluminum pinch bar. Tear these off if you are going
to install the filter in the HS-2. Leave the straps on your 2nd backup
filter in your Web Case in case you want to use the filter by itself for
mop-up.
Size: One size only – Medium
Limitations: This type of filter doesn’t
block fire gases, like carbon monoxide, so don’t assume you can advance
further into the fire. Use your head, training and common sense. Throw
it away and replace with a new one when filter becomes difficult to
breathe through or becomes damaged.
