Overview
X-Scape EFH-15 is a single-use emergency filter hood for rapid evacuation from areas contaminated with toxic gases and vapors. Developed for workers in the oil, gas, and chemical industries, it provides full protection for the respiratory system, eyes, and face against hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), chlorine (Cl₂), and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) at concentrations up to 5,000 ppm. Instant donning, full-head coverage, and low-resistance airflow keep visibility and breathing safety during escape. Stored in a sealed, airtight, tamper-evident carry case — every detail is designed to save precious seconds in life-threatening situations.
