Protective clothing for handling hazardous goods  

As an alternative to the known reusable protective suits, Dräger has developed the new CPS 5900. The limited use suit easily meets and exceeds European and International standards of protection.

Choosing the correct protective clothing is key when working with dangerous substances or hazardous goods. The new CPS 5900 Dräger (Germany) offers a lightweight, gastight protective suit that protects against many industrial chemicals. The single exposure protective suit was developed for low-risk situations such as control measurements or the transfer of toxic substances without risk of explosion. With its protective function, the new limited use suit meets the International requirements of  rescue services and industries. The CPS 5900 is the world’s first chemical protective suit approved by EN 943 Part 1 & 2 (ET) and the SOLAS Convention.

The comfort of the protective suit affects the physical and psychological capacity of the user. The CPS 5900 provides high freedom of movement through its flexible material and has a hip strap for size adjustment. All personal protective gear is worn inside the one-piece suit. Through the flexible two-layer visor, the wearer has a nearly natural field of vision.

The zipper of the CPS 5900 is protected from external influences by a double flap with continuous Velcro and allows for easy dressing and undressing. The integrated gastight socks with splash guard also ensure safety.

Dräger supplies the gastight CPS 5900 suit with a dual glove system, consisting of inner gloves with a laminated barrier against chemicals and elastic outer gloves made from butyl. The gloves are secured with a locking cuff on the suit so the wearer can exchange the gloves if necessary.
