Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics Introduces New Hazmat Suit

Merrimack, NH — Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics recently introduced the company's first Level B style hazmat suit, ONESuit® Shield, at the National Safety Council Congress and Expo, which was held this month in San Diego.

"The Protective Systems team at Saint-Gobain prides itself on listening to the demands of first responders world-wide," said Peter A. Kirk, Market Manager. "Our decision to engineer a Level B suit was based on feedback we received from firefighters, military personnel, law enforcement and occupational safety professionals who were looking for the quality of Saint-Gobain's material technology in a Level B suit."

ONESuit Shield is developed from Saint-Gobain's proprietary high-performance Coretech™ Barrier Membrane, ensuring the flexibility and comfort that emergency responders have come to expect from the company's Level A portfolio. It is currently in testing for NFPA 1992 and NFPA 1994 standards.

Level B hazmat suits are used for interacting with controlled and known chemicals in liquid form.

The company's line of products include the ONESuit® Pro, the industry's most affordable hazmat suit certified to the NFPA 1991 standard, ONESuit Flash, ONESuit Gard, and ONEGlove® Hazmat.
