⚠️ Limited Protection For Fire Restoration
Fire odors/gases - Carbon layer provides only "nuisance level" odor reduction, NOT full chemical protection
Toxic fire gases - NOT adequate for serious fire restoration with chemical vapors
Heavy fire damage - Upgrade to full-face respirator with combination cartridges or PAPR system recommended
🔥 For Wildfire/Fire Restoration, You Need:
Full-face respirators with combination cartridges (P100 + organic vapor)
PAPR systems for extended work in contaminated environments
Supplied air respirators for heavy fire damage with toxic gases
Professional Features That Matter:
Lightweight Construction - comfortable for extended wear on job sites
Adjustable Head Straps - secure, personalized fit for any technician
Replaceable Filter Cartridges - cost-effective for ongoing multi-site use
Half-Mask APR Design - recommended respirator type per IICRC standards
Don't compromise on safety. Perfect for mold, water damage, and lead work - but know your limitations for fire restoration. Choose the right protection for each job type.
