A PAPR respirator will provide far superior respiratory protection when compared to a disposable respirator or air purifying respirator. A PAPR respirator stays cooler and provides more comfort, because the motorized respirator unit pushes positive-pressure breathable air to your respirator hood or mask. Choose from a wide variety of PAPR respirator parts and equipment including: respirator hoods, head covers, air hoses, battery chargers, prefilters, breathing tubes and chemical respirator cartridges. A supplied air respirator (SAR) provides higher levels of respiratory protection from contaminants. These flexible supplied air respirator systems pump clean breathing air provided by the surrounding work environment through positive pressure to the respirator mask. An air pump efficiently sucks the air from a clean breathing area and pushes it through an air hose to the workers respirator in a hazardous area. Use a supplied air respirator when your working environment contains dangerous chemicals that cannot be blocked out using chemical respirator cartridges.
