The Avon Protection C50™ protective mask shares key technologies with the U.S. M50/JSGPM (Joint Services General Purpose Mask) to provide maximum operational flexibility. It is capable of countering multiple threat scenarios, including chemical, biological, nuclear and radiological (CBRN) agents, toxic industrial chemicals (TICs), and toxic industrial materials (TIMs).
The C50 twin port mask is NIOSH CBRN Cap 1 approved with the CBRNCF50 filter (TC-14G-0318), NIOSH 42 CFR 84 riot control CS/CN/P100 approved with the CTCF50 filter (TC-14G-0322) and NIOSH 42 CFR 84 P100 approved with the CFP100 filter (TC-84A-9233). The C50 meets the latest NATO military requirements.
