Inhalation of asbestos fibers can cause mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer - diseases with long latency periods and no cure.

For licensed commercial asbestos abatement operations, regulatory requirements in most jurisdictions mandate specific respiratory protection standards (such as EN 12941 TH3 or NIOSH-approved PAPR with P100 filtration) and full site containment protocols. Always consult your local occupational health and safety authority and the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the materials you are working with before starting any asbestos removal work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSapphire PAPR Asbestos Kit Contents - Hood, ONYX 45 Blower, M80 Filter and Hose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ \u003cstrong\u003eSupergum Sapphire Full-Face Respirator Hood\u003c\/strong\u003e - panoramic visor, medical-grade silicone hood, fits over beards and eyeglasses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/impertech-onyx-45-papr-blower-cbrn-nbc-45lpm\" title=\"Impertech ONYX 45 PAPR Blower - 45 LPM Israeli CBRN NBC Air Supply\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eONYX 45 PAPR Blower Unit\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e - 45 L\/min constant airflow, positive pressure design, belt-mounted, made in Israel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ \u003cstrong\u003eShalon M80 NBC Filter\u003c\/strong\u003e - 40mm NATO thread, activated carbon media with particulate filtration, 15+ year shelf life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/40mm-nato-gas-mask-hose-extension-cbrn-papr\" title=\"40mm NATO Gas Mask Hose Extension - Flexible PAPR Link\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e40mm NATO Flexible Hose\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e and adjustable industrial belt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ \u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated Drinking Tube\u003c\/strong\u003e - stay hydrated during long abatement sessions without removing the hood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSold separately:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4x CR123A Lithium batteries required for PAPR operation.

Removing corrugated roofing sheets from a garage and cutting through textured ceiling coatings in a pre-2000 renovation. These jobs carry real asbestos risk - and a half-mask P3 respirator is only as good as its face seal. If you have a beard, wear glasses, or work in a physically demanding position where the mask shifts, the seal is compromised. The Sapphire PAPR Kit removes that variable entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSupergum Sapphire Full-Face Respirator Hood - Neck Seal, Panoramic Visor, Beard Compatible\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sapphire is a full-face respirator hood manufactured by Supergum under Israeli Ministry of Defense standards. The soft medical-grade silicone hood seals around your neck rather than your face, which means beards, glasses, and different face shapes are no longer a problem. The panoramic polycarbonate visor gives you a clear, distortion-free view of your work area, and the constant positive-pressure airflow ensures asbestos fibers cannot enter through any gap in the seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSupergum ONYX 45 PAPR Blower - 45 L\/min Powered Air, Belt-Mounted, Made in Israel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/products\/impertech-onyx-45-papr-blower-cbrn-nbc-45lpm\" title=\"Impertech ONYX 45 PAPR Blower - 45 LPM Israeli CBRN NBC Air Supply\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eONYX 45\u003c\/a\u003e is a belt-mounted Powered Air Purifying Respirator made by Supergum. The blower pulls air through the filter and delivers it into the hood at a constant 45 liters per minute, creating positive pressure inside. This means contaminated air - including asbestos fibers - cannot leak inward through any imperfection in the seal. A monitor lamp confirms the unit is operating correctly. Runtime is approximately 18 to 20 hours on a single set of 4x CR123A lithium batteries, making it suitable for full-day abatement sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eShalon M80 NBC Filter - Activated Carbon, 40mm NATO Thread, 15-Year Shelf Life\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M80 is a multi-purpose NBC filter canister manufactured by Shalon Chemical Industries for the Israeli Defense Force. It combines activated carbon media with particulate filtration effective against a wide range of fibers, aerosols, and chemical vapors. The M80 uses a standard 40mm NATO thread and has a shelf life exceeding 15 years when stored sealed. For asbestos removal applications, the particulate filtration media captures airborne fibers before they reach the airstream entering the hood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWhy Tradespeople Choose PAPR Over Half-Masks for Asbestos Work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour practical reasons. First, face seal elimination: with a half-mask, any gap caused by a beard, glasses, or facial movement allows asbestos fibers to bypass the filter entirely. The Sapphire hood seals at the neck, removing this risk. Second, full-face protection - no separate goggles needed, no gap between mask and eyewear. Third, no breathing resistance - dense P3 media is exhausting to breathe through during heavy physical work; the ONYX 45 does the work for you. Fourth, extended-wear comfort: the integrated drinking tube and lightweight hood design allow you to work longer without removing the respirator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWho Needs a Full-Face PAPR for Asbestos Removal - DIY, Renovation and Hazardous Dust Work\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDIY asbestos removal in residential renovation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsbestos-containing floor tile, ceiling tile, and roofing sheet removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead paint stripping and hazardous dust abatement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSanding, grinding, and demolition in older buildings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny hazardous particulate work where face seal integrity is a concern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorkers with beards or eyeglasses who cannot achieve a reliable face seal with a standard half-mask\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSapphire PAPR Asbestos Kit - Full Technical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHood Model:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supergum Sapphire Full-Face Respirator Hood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlower Unit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supergum ONYX 45, 45 L\/min constant airflow, positive pressure design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shalon M80 NBC filter canister, activated carbon media, 40mm NATO thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40mm NATO (EN 148-1) - compatible with any NATO-threaded filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHood Standard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manufactured to Israeli Ministry of Defense standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Standard:\u003c\/strong\u003e MIL-STD-282 (particulate filtration test method)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVisor Standard:\u003c\/strong\u003e EN 166 (personal eye protection)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHood Material Standard:\u003c\/strong\u003e DIN 53505 (rubber hardness testing method)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuality System:\u003c\/strong\u003e ISO 9001 certified manufacturing (Supergum and Shalon)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Shelf Life:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15+ years when stored sealed in original packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRuntime:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 18 to 20 hours on one set of batteries (varies with filter saturation and conditions)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Source:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4x CR123A Lithium batteries, 3V each (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in Israel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeed replacement filters?
