With a facepiece crafted from robust
and CBRN-compliant bromobutyl rubber, the CM-6M Tactical Gas Mask
protects your face, internal organs, and respiratory system against a
full spectrum of toxic industrial chemicals (TIC) and chemical warfare
agents (CWA), including chemical, biological, and nuclear threats such
as radioactive dust, noxious gas, vaporized pollutants, and more.
Complementing this durable exterior is the respirator’s inner mask, which employs a unique hypoallergenic compound.
This formulation confers a few
benefits. First, it increases the mask’s tightness whilst reducing
contact with the visor, which prevents fogging. Next, it decreases
carbon dioxide content in the respirator’s inner space, which–together
with its favorable inhalation/exhalation breathing resistance–decreases
the physiological burden for the user. This provides more comfortable
and practical all-day use.
Another highlight of the mask is its
speech diaphragm, which ensures at least 95% intelligibility, allowing
for easy communication with other members of your party. What’s more,
the CM-6M is equipped with a six-point rubber-textile head harness,
enhancing the respirator’s tight and lasting fit.
Note that the CM-6M CBRN gas mask is
produced in one size. To ensure proper functioning, the wearer’s face
must be smooth, free of facial hair, sideburns, and other hindrances at
the points of contact.
Though this may be something of a
disappointment to our stubble-sporting customers, we have good news for
those who are vision-impaired–the CM-6M tactical gas mask is compatible
with the MIRAVISION Spectacle Kit
(sold separately). Featuring simple installation, this kit offers
full-vision clarity to those who prefer not to wear contact lenses.
And, of course, the CM-6M mask can be
outfitted with a variety of filters. This is done by screwing to the
left or right inhalation chamber. Note that the unused chamber (without
filter) is sealed with an inhalation chamber plug. It is therefore
necessary to ensure the plug is properly screwed and tightened.
Also bear in mind that the
respirator’s inhalation chambers are ONLY compatible with Rd 40 x 1/7”
thread in accordance with the EN 148-1 standard.
When selecting a suitable filter,
there are a few things one should consider. First and foremost, there is
the type and concentration of the anticipated toxic agent(s). Next, one
must remember that the CM-6M tactical mask, equipped with a TIC or CWA
filter, is only safe for use in an environment containing at least 19.5%
oxygen. (For further principles of filter selection and application,
please consult the filter user guides.)
Additionally, it is crucial to note
that the CM-6M tactical gas mask can only be used in class 1 explosive
environments–i.e., areas where flammable gasses or vapors exist, or
could exist, in amounts that can create explosive or ignitable
conditions.
And perhaps most importantly, the
CM-6M mask meets all of the requirements for class 3 of the EN 136:1998
standard. This represents the highest level of protection provided by
full-face masks as specified in the standard. Class 3 masks are
full-face masks made of rubber or silicone, offering a higher level of
protection, durability, and resistance against extreme conditions
compared to the previous two classes.
As such, the CM-6M can be used for a
variety of applications. Originally designed for use in industry,
agriculture, law enforcement, professional rescue/biomedical squads, and
civil defense settings, this gas mask is perfect for riot gear (as a
riot control mask), EDC (everyday carry), and CBRN protection.
