VITAFLEX NON-LATEX SOFT-STRETCH HOODS

 

The research and development invested in these hoods is in response to the need to have a comfortable, protective head-cover with excellent respiratory filtration and protection. 

There are two designs, Full-cover and Open-face.  

  • The Full-cover hood exposes the eyes only to provide maximum full facial coverage.  A 3-D under nose air-pocket design allows less-restricted air flow and breathability which reduces goggle fogging, and prevents moisture accumulation around the mouth area.
  • The Open-face hood has the versatility of covering the chin, or mouth and chin.  This design allows access to the eyes and nose to accommodate goggles and PPE breathing apparatus, and avoids the fogging problem while retaining its excellent form-fit and full coverage of the wearer’s hair.

The pleasing aqua-blue color has been accepted by industrial professionals. It is also effective in reflecting sunlight and reducing heat. The black color is effective in absorbing sunlight and retaining warmth when working outdoors in cold temperatures.

Because they are made from recently available, patented, latex-free elastic nonwoven fabric, they are

  • One size fits all-  The hood relaxed dimensions are 10" wide by 18.8" long.  The opening can be expanded to a 30" circumference  
  • Non-irritating, tissue-soft, stress-less comfort
  • Excellent conformability and breathability
  • Excellent barrier functionality and filtration performance

  

 

Form-fitting, light weight with stress-free comfort

Soft-stretch hoods are soft and form fitting to the wearer without the irritating stress from overly restrictive elastic components. Different designs are possible which expose eyes only, eyes and nose, or eyes, nose and mouth, and all without restriction of peripheral vision.  The Vitaflex triple-layer structure has a ΔP of only 0.2.  In other words, the resistence to air flow is nearly nonexistent.

  

Outstanding Protection

The product design characteristics of our hoods include high filtration protection provided through a multi-layer structure having ultra fine porosity and filtering capability.  These head-covers provide superior protection from spray, dust, and other airborne particles as well as protection from bacteria.  They also block wind, sun, sand, or other demanding conditions in the elements.  
 

Rubber Free to be Environmental Friendly

Because no latex or synthetic rubber materials are used, it allows the recycling of these products, and eliminates the emission of dioxin and other noxious gases during the waste incineration process.  The soft-stretch hood provides excellent primary facial protection and filtration efficiency and can be incorporated to fit the needs of many different work environments:

 

  • Best Primary Facial Protection for Foam Spray, Pest Control, Chimney Sweeps, Powder Coating, Painting Jobs, Demolition, Mining, Agriculture and Live Stock, Waste Management, Recycling, Disaster Relief, etc.  It can also reduce scratches, wind-chill, sunburn, and sand strikes for outdoor activities.
  • A means of Contamination Control in Food Processing, Pharmaceutical and Chemical factories, Bio-labs, and Clean Rooms.
  • Worn over a face mask, in conjunction with respirator, or as a Hygienic Liner under a helmet.    Utilized in conjunction with OSHA required PPE, the soft stretch hood will provide additional filtration, as well as barrier protection for the skin and hair. 

 

The hood is not for replacing a mask if required by OSHA. It is not FDA or NIOSH rated. Not for blocking toxic or bio-hazard gases, fumes, and vapors.  Not for blocking pressurized particles or liquid.  Not to be used near flames or in an environment of above 200 ˚F.  If used in a wet environment, we recommend wearing multiple hoods, removing the outer hood if the moisture begins to seep through.
