 ILC Dover  announced  that  its  Scape  CO/CBRN escape mask has received Factory Mutual approval for various emergency  situations.  ILC Dover, based in Frederica, is best known as a manufacturer of space suits.

The  escape mask incorporates an integral filter/blower which affords protection and allows wearers to breathe normally as they escape plant site incidents.

The product offers 30 minutes of protection against a broad range of chemicals and its  design protects the respiratory tract as well as the users’ head, eyes, and neck.

The system  has a five year maintenance-free shelf life.  By offering chemical and carbon monoxide protection, the product can be used by plant workers needing to escape a chemical incident, or by control room or administrative personnel requiring escape mask protection from a fire or chemical event.

Since the introduction of the original Scape NBC in 2004, numerous government agencies and industrial users have chosen to make ILC Dover Escape Respirators a key component of their emergency response plan.

Unlike other escape masks, the Scape    can be used by persons with glasses and/or facial hair, has no securing straps, nose cup, or mouth bit and utilizes a positive-flow ventilation system that automatically activates when removed from the package. Its clear hood with large visor allows the user to perform a wide range of tasks, such as using a cell phone or other communication device.
