CS-PAPRThe Avon CS-PAPR is the newest generation of CBRN Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) from Avon. Designed for use with Combination Respirators Unit (CRU’s) the CS-PAPR allows the user to select the level of protection dependent on the threat, providing increased duration on target and safer operation.

The wearer can seamlessly switch between APR, PAPR and SCBA modes of protection and the modular methodology allows the user to add the Avon CS-PAPR to existing fielded systems such as the FM53/4 APR and ST53 SCBA.

P-TYPEThe P-Type thermal imaging camera is specially designed to help police, security and law enforcement officers detect the heat signatures of people and objects.

The P-Type is a robust, self-contained, and simple to-operate thermal imaging camera with interchangeable lenses allowing the camera to be used effectively for differing operational distances. It is lightweight and ergonomic, capable of withstanding harsh environments and contains many of the most advanced features available for any thermal imaging camera.

FM50The FM50 mask, developed by working with the US DoD, is part of the latest generation of Avon CBRN full face masks specifically designed to meet the latest NATO forces military mask requirements. Based on the world leading M50, it is the first mask to be used by all four US forces – the US Marines, the US Army, the US Airforce and the US Navy.

The twin filter conformal system sits close against the face, making it a much more comfortable mask to wear, and also allows greater ease of weapon deployment.

Outstanding vision is provided with the introduction of Avon Protection’s wide panoramic flexible visor which incorporates visual clarity and integral durability.

FM54Developed in conjunction with the US Government, the FM54 mask is built off the proven FM53 platform and meets the needs of the modern day specialist operator.

The Avon fire hardened FM54 Air Purifying Respirator provides Specialist Operators maximum level of protection to the face, eyes and respiratory tract from CBRN, Riot Agents, Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs) and Toxic Industrial Materials while maintaining extreme user flexibility as mission profiles change.

NH15 COMBOBuilt on the proven technology of the NH15, the smallest and lightest NIOSH and CE certified air purifying escape hood ever developed, the NH15 Combo delivers the proven performance and functionality of the NH15 and adds an advanced media to provide carbon monoxide (CO) protection.

Providing a high level of respiratory, eye and face protection for a minimum of fifteen minutes, the NH15 Combo not only protects against all airborne CBRN and CO threats but also protects the face from liquid agent splashes.

The last decade has clearly demonstrated that the nature of threats to international security has changed significantly. Challenges such as terrorism, cyber-attacks and nuclear proliferation have created an entirely new security environment.

At Avon Protection we understand the threats we have today and what they mean for tomorrow. We deliver customized end-to-end security solutions and respiratory protection products, all underpinned by expert analysis, innovation and operational experience, to meet the changing chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) threat environment.

Our 130 years’ experience in respiratory protection across the military, law enforcement, first responder, fire-fighting and industrial sectors worldwide has given us the insight and understanding to launch a new product range designed for the new threat environment.

The new AvonAir range is the first adaptive powered air system capable of being configured to match changing operational conditions and includes the EZAir power module, the FM54 mask, the MP-PAPR and the CS-PAPR.

The patented design approach delivers maximum operational flexibility. The interchangeable components allow for multiple, rapidly assembled protection level configurations to accommodate changing threats. With reduced burden and greater integration with legacy equipment, enhanced protection against toxic industrial chemicals, ease of weapon sighting, integrated communications, and high flow hydration connections, the new products enable the wearer to stay comfortable and effective in physically taxing scenarios.

Central to the range is the EZAir power module which provides the power source for all configurations of the AvonAir range.

This single filter CBRN airflow system is substantially smaller and quieter than traditional powered air units and reduces mask wearer burden without the traditional weight and bulk of traditional powered air purifying respirators (PAPRs).

Commenting on the new product range, James Wilcox, Global Director of Marketing said, “After 5 years of development, working alongside the end-user community, Avon has produced the next generation of modular CBRN respiratory protection. Our focus on providing the wearer with lighter, modular and fully integrated solutions is evident in the AvonAir range. In addition the ability for customer to configure systems depending on operational needs dramatically lowers their cost of ownership and maintenance.”
