MSA has you protected with the latest

enhancements to our FireHawk Air Mask,

the stringent live-agent test regimen of

the NIOSH approval process. Because

conventional silicone diaphragms are among

the SCBA components most vulnerable

to CBRN agent permeation, our positive protection

design seals the new diaphragm

of the Firehawk® regulator from any initial

contact with contaminants.

The key to this protection are these

revolutionary components, which lie

within the CBRN version of the

second-stage regulator:

first line of defense in preventing chemical

warfare agents from contacting the

vital components of the regulator and

entering the user’s air stream.

zone.

• A modified valve core body (the engine of

the regulator). It supports the new shield

and diaphragm with a high-performance

air-delivery system.

These components, plus one of the industry’s best-fitting facepieces, MSA’s Ultra Elite® Facepiece, ensure reliable and effective respiratory protection not only from agents that might be used in a terrorist attack, but also from many of the lethal byproducts of combustion that are encountered in everyday firefighting. Chemical plants, nuclear facilities, laboratories, and other industries harbor unknown and life-threatening environments that you might have to face. With MSA’s new CBRN FireHawk Air Mask, you can be positive you are protected on every call.

the new CBRN Firehawk MMR by any MSA

protection and the enhanced ergonomics

of the new Firehawk MMR.
