Awareness of the importance of work environment

safety and the potential implications of workplace

injuries and death is constantly rising. The costs of

accidents in the workplace, in the form of legal

liability, insurance expenses, and damage to

reputation, have become such a concern that many

organizations have adopted the concept of "zero

casualties" as a guideline for their safety policies.

Industrial settings in particular present a concern, as

they can very suddenly turn toxic and hazardous

due to accidents. The most common danger is fire,

in which the main cause of injuries is not burns, but

rather smoke inhalation. In emergencies such as

these, a calm and levelheaded response is crucial.

Industrial settings also have a potential for chemical

spills in which there is a high risk of sudden

exposure to toxic liquids, aerosols, and gases.

Exposure to smoke and to hazardous chemical or

biological agents can quickly become debilitating,

making escape very diflcult or even impossible.

Other settings in which swift and calm evacuation

might become necessary are high-rise development

projects and oflce buildings, which are susceptible

not only to fires but also to terrorist attacks. In case of

a fire or other emergency, an evacuation of such

crowded places might be slower than desired,

increasing the risk of exposure to smoke and harmful

gases.

The Solution

The ideal solution for these potential risks is a

personal escape mask which can be carried on one's

person at all times. The Duram Personal Escape

Mask is an accessible and easy-to-use respiratory

protection device which covers the entire head,

protecting the respiratory system and the eyes. The

hood is made of a single unit of neoprene rubber

with a flexible opening which seals around the neck,

making fastening straps unnecessary. This allows

the hood to be worn by people with facial hair and

even to be worn while wearing eyeglasses, if

necessary for escape.

All Duram masks are M class (mobile) and their

compact size makes it possible to carry them

around in a pocket or in a pouch throughout the

workday, making them immediately and easily

accessible in case of emergency. Their minimal size

also makes them unobtrusive enough to be placed

in multiple locations around the workplace, thereby

increasing their accessibility.

The Escape Mindset

The donning procedure is very simple, and the

hood is one-size-fits-all, requiring no fastening

action once in place. The hood's visor is made of

durable, heat resistant material, treated with an

anti-fogging agent to prevent it from becoming

opaque due to breath condensation inside the

hood. The visor is completely clear and is wide

enough to allow a panoramic view. The hood's

design also allows the wearer to be clearly

understood when speaking. All filters on Duram

Mask products allow a minimum of 15 minutes of

filtering performance under common conditions.

These design features make the Duram mask an

optimal solution for emergency situations, enabling

users to evacuate quickly and calmly.

Duram Mask has been making substantial

investments in research and development. These

eVorts have yielded several globally recognized

patents, including an innovative compact

mouthpiece. These investments also allow the

company to oVer its clients tailor-made solutions.

The filters can be tweaked for specific requirements

of filtering performance, and the hoods are oVered

in several colors appropriate for safety and security

applications.

Escape hoods are a type of personal protective equipment

intended for use in emergencies involving harmful gases and

smoke. They provide short-term respiratory protection as well

as protection of the eyes and hair. The hood buys time in case of

emergency and allows the wearer to evacuate safely and

calmly.

Composition of the Hood

Rubber Hood

The hood is made of Polychloroprene Latex with

unique mechanical and thermal properties:

• High tensile strength

• High elasticity (stretches up to 800% of

original length) allowing quick donning

and tight neck-sealing

• Resistance to high temperatures

• Fire-retardant

Panoramic Visor

The mask's visor is made of ETFE, a co-polymer

with several special features:

• High tensile strength

• High transparency

• Heat-resistance

• Fire-retardant

Filters The range of masks comes with three types of

filters:

1 Multi-Layer filter

• Electrostatic particle filter

• Layers of activated charcoal cloth with

impregnation against acidic gases

2 CO Filter

Two canisters containing:

• Electrostatic particle filter

• Layers of activated charcoal cloth with

impregnation against acidic gases

• Catalyst

• Desiccant

3 ABEK 1 Filter

A universally used filter compliant with the

EN14387 Standard, able to filter the following

in concentrations of up to 1000 ppm:

• Organic gases

• Inorganic gases

• Ammonia

Inhalation / Exhalation Valve

A patent developed by Duram Mask. A unique

system combining two unidirectional valves: an

inhalation valve and an exhalation valve

connected to a mouthpiece.

Packaging and Shelf Life

The mask is packed in a sealed vacuum pack that

keeps it eVective and ready for use for five years.

Each package contains clearly illustrated donning

instructions (OEM requests welcomed). For ease

of carrying, the masks are oVered with an

assortment of tailor-made pouches.

Duram Mask oVers five types of masks which can be tailored according to customer requirements.

MASKITO KIMI KIMI PLUS

An ultra-compact mask designed for

incidents of fire, making it suitable for

almost every setting. The mask filters

out HCl, NO2, C6H12, tear gas (CS), and

SO2 (not designed to filter out CO).

The MASKITO Mask was tested at the

ASSAY TECHNOLOGY labs. The

MASKITO is smaller than most

modern smartphones and can be

carried comfortably in a pants or shirt

pocket.

COGO

A compact mask designed for situations

of chemical spills and terrorist attacks. The

KIMI protects against organic gases with a

boiling point higher than 65ºC; several

inorganic gases; sulphuric gases and

other acidic gases, as well as ammonia

and ammonia derivatives. It also protects

against these substances in particle form.

(tested at the ASSAY TECHNOLOGY labs).

The KIMI is an ideal solution for situations

involving relatively low levels of these

hazardous materials (under 500 ppm). It

is best suited for mining, oil, and gas

operations; chemical and petrochemical

industries; and for civilian institutions and

high-rise buildings.

The KIMI PLUS is a somewhat larger

version of the KIMI, designed for the

same range of chemicals, but with an

extended filtration capacity achieved

through two standard ABEK 1 filters,

making it suitable for situations

involving those chemicals in levels of

up to 1000 ppm. The KIMI PLUS

weighs only 450 grams (1 lb.), making

it one of the lightest in its category. Its

robust protection against chemical

hazards makes it especially suited for

heavy chemical industries.

CHEMBAYO

The COGO is a smoke escape mask

designed for both smoke and Carbon

Monoxide filtration. It is tested for

protection against CO, HCl, HCN and

propenal (acrolein), is certified under

European Standard EN-403, and bears

the European Union Mark. A

variant of this mask intended for

petrochemical industries, the COGO-S,

is designed to provide protection

against sulphuric gases, and has been

tested against H2S and SO2.

The CHEMBAYO is meant to provide

short-term protection against chemical

and biological agents used in weaponized

form. The mask is specifically designed

against nerve and blood agents (also

compliant with the EN-143 Standard for

particle filtration), and the filters also

contain a HEPA P3 component which

protects against particles and aerosols,

substantially reducing respiratory

exposure to chemical and biological

hazards. These capabilities make the

CHEMBAYO an ideal solution for military

forces, law enforcement agencies, and

emergency services personnel.

The Masks

Raise the mask above your head, stretch the

neck opening with both hands, and pull the

mask down, making sure the opening is

tightly sealed around your neck.

Adjust the mask so that your mouth is

centered inside the rubber mouthpiece.

Breathe normally.

Donning procedure
