Product Specifications:
Advantage® 1000 CBA-RCA Gas Mask
The Advantage 1000 CBA-RCA Gas Masks from MSA
are specifically designed for use by law enforcement and emergency
response personnel.The facepiece features a single low-profile
canister.The gas mask is NIOSH approved (No.TC-14G-0235) for
protection against chloroacetphenone (CN),chlorobenzylidene
(CS),P100 particulate efficiency level and particulates.The gas mask
does not have NIOSH approval for oleoresin capsicum, the
“active”ingredient of OC Tear Gas.The canister provides up to eight
hours service time against CN,CS,and OC agents. Please see the
table bellow for additional information. The Advantage 1000
CBA-RCA Gas Masks are also effective against biological agents,along
with the following chemical warfare (CW) agents:GA,GB (Sarin),GD,VX,
Mustard,and Lewisite.Testing conducted by MSA and independent
laboratories assures that the gas mask and canister meet the
requirements for effectiveness against CW agents using the test
protocol recommended by the Chemical Agent Safety and Health Policy
Action Committee (CASHPAC).They are also effective against OC
(oleoresin capsicum) Riot Control Agent and HCN (hydrogen
cyanide),but have not been tested or approved by NIOSH for these
applications. Please see the table on page three for additional
information.
Features:
- Flexible, one piece polyurethane lens
with wide field of vision, bonded to a durable super-soft Hycar
rubber facepiece.
- NIOSH approved for protection against CN
and CS tear gas.
- Effective against, but does not have
approval for OC tear gas. • Is effective against biological agents
and chemical warfare agents.
- Dual-canister mount to allow weapon
firing from either shoulder.
The Advantage 1000 CBA-RCA Gas Mask is a
clean, simplified respirator with super-soft Hycar facepiece (based
on a proven facepiece design developed for the U.S. Armed Forces)
that’s up to 40% lighter than conventional full-face respirators and
gives high performance, customized fit,comfort,economy and user
acceptance.
The flexible,1-piece polyurethane lens has a
wide field of vision and is bonded to a durable super-soft Hycar
rubber facepiece. Bonding a flexible lens to the facepiece
eliminates the need for a rigid lens that can cause uncomfortable
pressure points.The facepiece has a wraparound design that minimizes
dead-air space and provides good vision.The compact size also
permits easy integration with most visored police helmets.
The facepiece has canister inlet ports on
either side of the facepiece. The canister position (bayonet
mount) can be switched to enable the user to sight a weapon from
either shoulder. The Advantage 1000 CBA-RCA Gas Masks are
molded of super-soft black Hycar rubber,a specially formulated
combination of natural rubber and synthetic materials.The facepiece
is soft and pliable for a snug,comfortable fit. Hycar resists
chemical attack and temperature extremes, and is able to withstand
rugged daily use.Hycar is particularly resistant to permeation
against chemical warfare agents.The fully elastic,6-point head
harness promotes easy on-off,easy adjustment,with no hair
pulling.
Standard equipment includes a speaking
diaphragm for clear,short-range communications,or add MSA’s optional
ESP Communication System.The facepiece also features a nosecup, to
reduce lens fogging in low temperatures or high humidity conditions.
Test Results:
MSA’s Advantage 1000 CBA-RCA/Millennium Gas
Mask Canister has been tested to determine how effectively it can
protect an individual against a variety of chemical agents (in
accordance with CASHPAC). This canister contains a pleated
high-efficiency (HEPA) filter to remove aerosols and solid
particulates, and an impregnated activated carbon bed to adsorb
(filter out) gases and liquid vapors.The HEPA filter removes nearly
all of the tear gas agents from the inspired airstream. Any small
amount of tear gas agent that passes through the filter is adsorbed
by the impregnated activated carbon. Sarin (GB),DMMP (a Sarin
simulant), and HCN are also effectively adsorbed by the carbon bed.
The challenge agents are listed in column 1; testing conditions and
requirements in columns 2, 3, and 4; and test results in the last
column. The Flow Rate for all challenge agents was 64 ±1 Lpm,
except for CK, which was 32 Lpm.Temperature was 25 ±3 degrees
Centigrade.
