Features

STEDAIR^® 3000 meets and exceeds the requirements of the standards NFPA 1971-2007 Edition, CGSB 155.1 and BNQ

STEDAIR^® 3000 offers protection against:

• Blood-borne pathogens ASTM F1670 and ASTM F1671
• Five common chemicals
  • Battery acid
  • Hydraulic fluid
  • Gasoline - fuel C
  • Aqueous film forming foam (AFFF)
  • Chlorinated water
• Water penetration

THL (total heat loss)

The total heat loss requirement in NFPA 1971-2007 edition has a minimum requirement of 130 watts per square meter.

STEDAIR^® 3000 performance exceeds this requirement and obtains 244.8 watts per square meter when tested with Defender 750 and Caldura SL thermal liner.

STEDAIR^® 3000 ePTFE based moisture barriers offers the best THL results when laminated to DuPont™ Nomex® E89™.

TPP (Thermal Protective Performance)

The TPP requirement in the NFPA 1971-2007 edition has a minimum requirement of 35 Cal/cm2.

STEDAIR^® 3000 leads the industry in thermal protective performance.

Construction

STEDAIR^® 3000 ePTFE moisture barrier is engineered at Stedfast using DuPont™ Nomex® E89™, and our bi-component lamination and coating technology incorporating an ePTFE membrane from BHA Technologies. The result is a high performance light weight moisture barrier, with excellent durability.
