—Ergonomic Innovation Meets EN 136-Certified Performance
I. Engineering Excellence: Human-Centric Design Principles
1. Anthropometric Optimization
The PANO facepiece features a five-strap head harness with quick-release buckles and EPDM faceblank, achieving universal fit for 95% of wearers while reducing facial pressure by 40% . Its 270° PMMA visor minimizes lateral blind spots, critical for confined space operations.
2. Communication & Comfort Enhancements
- Speech Diaphragm: Stainless steel membrane enables 90% speech intelligibility in 85dB environments
- Spectacle Compatibility: Side lobes accommodate prescription glasses without compromising seal integrity
- Dynamic Ventilation: Dual-path silicone exhalation valve reduces CO₂ retention to <1% (exceeding EN 136 requirements)
II. Certified Protection: Multi-Hazard Defense
1. EN 136 Class III Compliance
Certified for biological, chemical, and particulate hazards:
- Aerosol filtration efficiency ≥99.97% (P3 filter compatibility)
- Splash resistance against non-volatile liquids (ISO 6529 tested)
2. Performance Metrics
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Protection Factor | NPF 1000 (P3) / 2000 (gas) |
| Visor Durability | 9H scratch resistance / 120J impact rating |
| Temperature Range | -30°C to +60°C operational |
III. Sector-Specific Applications
1. Pharmaceutical & Cleanrooms
- PMMA visor maintains optical clarity during 12-hour shifts
- Validated for biosafety level 3 (BSL-3) containment
2. Oil & Gas Operations
- EPDM material resists hydrocarbon degradation
- Compatible with Honeywell RD40 filters for H₂S/CO protection
3. Firefighting Integration
