3M BE-10BR is a loose fitting, positive pressure butyl rubber hood that is designed to be used with an appropriate 3M respiratory filtration or supply device. This hood is designed to provide respiratory protection against certain chemical warfare agents and a range of other chemicals when used along with an approved powered air purifying respirator assembly. Used it with 3M Breathe Easy PAPR devices.
The BE-10BR hood is NIOSH CBRN PAPR approved with certain components and a range of chemicals and meets Military Specification MIL-C-51251A.
The hood is held in place on the head by a sewn-in elastic headband. Breathing air is supplied from a breathing tube connected to a snap-in hose connector, which is sewn into the back of the hood. Breathing air travels through the open space at the top of the hood, down over the user's face and out through the inner shroud.
