Enhanced Protection With Sandblasting Suit
Sandblasting generates large volumes of dust that may present serious health and safety hazards if inhaled; to minimize this risk, appropriate precautions and PPE should be worn during operations.
ECAB blast suits are specifically designed to shield operators from abrasive kickback and keep workers cool in hot environments. Each garment features a heavy-duty back made of breathable cotton fabric for maximum operator comfort and safety.
Light-Duty Blast Suit
The Light-Duty Blast Suit offers heavy duty protection from rebounding abrasive in a lightweight package, making it cost-effective for intermittent or short-term blasting as well as protecting non-blast personnel at the blast site. Weighing less than Clemco’s Heavy-Duty suits causes less fatigue for operators while being machine washable saves rental outlets money by discarding this suit after toxic dust jobs.
This blast suit boasts a cotton twill back to enable airflow, keeping operators cool. A durable nylon front and leather knee patches extend its lifespan. A heavy-duty brass zipper protected by an overlay flap secured with Velcro helps keep abrasives out while generous fit sleeves and legs allow greater movement as well as fitting over boots with ease. Optional gauntlet gloves protect hands and wrists further.
Comfort Vest
Vests provide an extra layer of warmth in between long-sleeve base layers and outer jackets when temperatures turn chilly, making them especially suitable for activities involving movement like hiking, biking, camping or fly fishing. A vest helps regulate core body temperature by keeping chest hair under wraps – as well as adding style!
The Comfort Vest uses 20 cubic feet per minute of compressed air to cool or warm its wearer, via directional air jets located on chest and back panels that emit generous streams. When necessary, just press a button and you can either cool off or warm up instantly!
Comfort Vest’s nylon and cotton construction provides durable yet comfortable wear for operators, while the heavy cotton backside allows breathing. Straps at leg and hand cuffs adjust to fit, keeping out contaminants such as dust. Rental yards often choose this suit to outfit their operators; this suit goes perfectly with Blaster Trousers & Jacket, Leather Blast Gloves, Apollo WiComm2 bone-conduction radio headset headset and Safety Boots for optimal use.
Heavy-Duty Blast Suit
RPB’s heavy-duty sweat-wicking breathable blast suit is designed to maximize worker comfort while protecting them from abrasive rebound. It comes equipped with recoil absorbing inlays, rigid fabrics, and high-comfort sport cuffs for additional safety.
Clemco light-duty blast suits offer an economical alternative to heavy-duty suits for intermittent or short-term blasting operations and non-blasting personnel at blast sites. Weighing less than its counterpart, these nylon/cotton suits can be machine washed for easier care while being more rewearable than leather/rubber suits.
The RPB blast suit provides maximum protection and comfort to its operator, furthering safety and increasing productivity. Constructed of durable cotton combined with heavy duty nylon to withstand blast exposure areas. Fastened using a zipper covered by press studs that is easy to fasten on or off; leather panels protect arms and legs in front, while its durable cotton back allows the suit to breathe for enhanced comfort.
Leather Blast Gloves
Goatskin gloves are better equipped than cowhide to offer heat protection and dexterity when working with TIG welding, enabling easier rod-gripping without cracking and sweating issues.
As well, for maximum protection from sharp metal pieces you should choose gloves with an ANSI cut rating. In World War II when raw materials were scarce, a tanning process was developed which gave cowhide many of the qualities associated with horsehide, making cowhide an acceptable material for blast gloves during this era. Nowadays, leather blast gloves feature premium quality features including double palms, extra outer strips and soft inner lining to cushion any impact of rebounding abrasives while their rough rubber surface prevents slippage when gripping items – making these heavy-duty heavy-duty gloves suitable for all manner of grinding, fettling and welding tasks as well as general grinding/fettling/welding jobs.
