FIRE ESCAPE MASK INTRODUCTION: 1. Any person may get exposed to toxic air in fire situation at work, at home or on holiday. There are many scenarios where hazardous conditions may arise. A fire caused by explosion, or by any other cause, whether at home, in a high-rise office or residential buildings, on a plane or in a boat, in a car or a truck, or in the bush. 2. According to the statistics from National Crime Records Bureau Data, a total of 113961 people died due to fire accidents in last 5 years attributing to an average of 62 deaths per day. Among those deaths caused by fire, over 80% were injured by toxic smoke and gas or suffocated by the strong smoke and then burned to death. Therefore, wearing a reliable gas- and smoke-proof respirator as well as using the evacuating passage to escape safely the danger site, can reduce greatly the death toll in the fire. 3. The solution to this is a personal escape mask which deals with toxic air through smoke or chemical/biological contamination. The Fire Escape Mask is a reliable and easy-to-use protection device for the entire head and the respiratory system enabling survival, escape and evacuation. The Fire Escape Mask is a compact, single unit with a flexible neck opening which protects the respiratory system, face and eyes against toxic air and enables immediate donning and quick escape from hazardous areas. DESCRIPTION: 4. A Fire Escape Mask is a protective device similar in concept to a gas mask. It is an Airtight Bag made of Aluminium Fabric with good fire resistance & light reflection property seals around the head of the wearer while an Air Filter held in the mouth connects to the outside atmosphere and is used to breathe. Fire Escape Masks are intended to protect victims of fire from the effects of smoke inhalation. 5. The most important part of a Fire Escape Mask is the filter that provides protection from the toxic byproducts of combustion. Virtually all Fire Escape Mask designs utilize some form of activated charcoal filter and particulate filter to screen out corrosive fumes like ammonia and chlorine, as well as acid gases like carbo monoxide, Carbon monoxide, hydrogen chloride and hydrogen sulfide. 6. The defining characteristic of an effective Fire Escape Mask is the ability to convert deadly carbon monoxide to relatively harmless carbon dioxide through a catalytic process. Max Heat 300 degree Main Object of Carbon monoxide (CO), Hydrocyanic Protection acid (HCN), hydrogen sulphide, poison smoke and fog Max using More than 40 Inhalation Resistance <800Pa Time minutes Certification CE, CCC, Exhalation <300Pa ISO9001 Resistance Standard EN403 Life time 3 years PARTS OF FIRE ESCAPE MASK: • The Hood: It consists of an oversized hood made of the flame retarding pure cotton. The aluminum foil is coated on the surface to defend the heat radiation and prevent the high temperature radiation from injuring the head of the escapee. • Fire Resistant PVC Screen: The head cover is provided with a large transparent window, visible to wide field, easy for escape. • Face Cover: The half face cover is made of soft rubber, it is comfortable to wear the cover. Its shape and size match various face shape. It has good air tightness, and it can prevent the toxic gas from directly entering the respiratory organs through the way bypassing the filtering pot. • Air Purifying Filter: The filter is made of stainless steel material & has a mechanical and chemical filter which blocks carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocyanic acid (HCN), poison smoke, Acrolein and other toxic gases. • Breathing Valve: One way breathing valve is made of ABS plastic which prevents inhaling of toxic gases and is used to only exhale out. • Neck Belt: The neck belt is made from elastomeric fire resistant cotton which is stretchable. • Cotton Tightening Belt: The belt is made of cotton used to adjust the mask according to the head of the wearer. • Air Plug: It has an Air plug is made of neoprene rubber which it is used to block to ends of filter when not in use. FEATURES: ▪ Since the head cover is coated with the aluminum foil, it glistens, so that the escapee can be identified among the strong smoke. ▪ The filtering pot contains the filtering toxics layer and the filtering smoke layer. The filtering toxics layer is made of the activator and the soaked activated carbon. The filtering smoke layer is made of super fine fiber. The two layers can effectively prevent toxic smoke, toxic spray, carbon monoxide, hydro cyanide, Hydrogen sulphide and other gases commonly produced in the fire from injuring the human. ▪ Protection time: >40 min ▪ Maximum Temperature: 300 °C ▪ Inhaling resistance: <800 Pa, at 95 L/min ▪ Exhaling resistance: <300 Pa, at 95 L/min ▪ Mist Permeability: <= 5% ▪ Inhaling temperature: <65 °C at 0.25% CO ▪ Respirator has a special drug component which is suitable for comprehensive poison protection. ADVANTAGES: ▪ Accessibility – compact and light-weight, carried in a personal pouch, allowing quick response in emergency ▪ Simplicity – made of one unit with a flexible neck opening which fits any head size and enables quick donning without the need for strengthening straps ▪ Convenience – hands, sight and speech are not limited, so the user can move around and function as usual ▪ Effectiveness – powerful yet compact filter that allows time to evacuate the contaminated area ▪ Immediate respiratory protection ▪ Enables quick escape in case of emergency ▪ High quality product made of high performance materials and parts ▪ Protects you from harmful particulates present in the air that can cause asthma & breathing problems ▪ Protects from flames and extreme heat up to 300 degrees ▪ Only one cartridge make breathing in the hood easy ▪ Doesn't require any maintenance or upkeep ▪ Doesn't affect your vision as it's made from a see-through material making it non- claustrophobic ▪ Enough space in the hood to comfortably wear with glasses or long hair ▪ Packaged in waterproof and puncture-proof wrapping for storing until you need it ▪ Keeps you safe from flammability and radiant heat ▪ No use of batteries or mechanical parts APPLICATIONS: This kind of Fire Smoke Escape Mask or Smoke Hood is an essential piece of personal life safety equipment. Main areas of application are: • Warehouses • Hotels • Office buildings • Department stores • Banks • Post offices • Schools • Power industry buildings • Places of public entertainment • Residential buildings • Dwelling Housed • Cars, ships, etc. .
