AVEC-CHEM CM-6M TACTICAL Gas mask for CBRN Defense

Tactical Gas Mask WITH-CHEM CM-6M: Full Protection Against CBRN/NRC

Le Military gas mask WITH-CHEM CM-6M (supplied complete with its dedicated hydration system) is developed to guarantee maximum panoramic vision and optimal thermal comfort in hostile or inhospitable environments. This elite system ensures an absolute airtight barrier for the respiratory tract and face against all threats and toxic agents. CBRN (vapors, industrial gases, tactical aerosols and contaminated radioactive dust). It is used versatilely with standardized Rd40 filter cartridges or coupled with a continuous flow powered respirator system.

This professional equipment is standardized CE EN 136: 1998 (Class III) & EN 148-1 for its threading. Its external structure is entirely injection-molded in bromobutyl rubber (vulcanized polyisobutylene), a high-end polymer offering critical impermeability against TIC (Toxic Industrial Chemicals) and CWA (Chemical Warfare Agents / Combat Gas), complemented by high mechanical and thermal resilience.

The inner half-mask, made of hypoallergenic silicone, eliminates the risk of irritation and prevents fogging thanks to dynamic airflow management, even during sustained physical exertion. This internal design drastically reduces residual CO2 concentration and maintains very low mechanical resistance during inhalation and exhalation, thus alleviating the physiological strain on the operator.

🛡️ Key Features and Tactical Advantages

• Dual NATO Connection: Two standardized side threads (Rd 40×1/7” – 40mm NATO) allow the mounting of two filter cartridges simultaneously to saturate filtration in highly toxic atmospheres, or a single cartridge (the second thread remaining sealed by a watertight valve to facilitate shouldering a long gun).
• Integrated Hydration: Equipped with an immediately operational emergency hydration system, compatible with CAMELBACK type adapters (A & M interfaces). Mask comes complete with its standard-issue water bottle.
• Sound Module: The integrated acoustic membrane ensures 95% intelligibility and clear transmission of voice exchanges up to a distance of 2 to 3 meters, eliminating sound distortions in radio or interpersonal communication.
• Ballistic Helmet Compatibility: Ergonomic 5-point head harness made of rubber and elastic textile, specifically contoured to avoid interfering with the wearing of a heavy ballistic helmet (FAST, MICH or PASGT type). Internal compartment designed for the integration of corrective lenses/eyeglasses (inserts not included).

🚫 Usage Limitations and Safety Instructions

• Oxygen Threshold: Use is prohibited if the atmospheric oxygen level is below 19,5%. Below this critical threshold, the use of a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is mandatory.
• Explosive Atmospheres: Do not use in an explosive environment above Class 01 (refer strictly to the European ATEX directive – Zone 01).
• Facial Sealing: To validate the overpressure tests and guarantee the absolute seal of the silicone lip, wearing a beard or long hair that cuts off the skin contact area is prohibited.

🌍 Approvals, Certifications and Deployments

• Full mask and sub-assemblies: European standard EN 136: 1998, Class III (maximum requirements for full face safety masks).
• Filter mounting threads: EN 148-1 standard (International standard thread for respiratory protective devices).
• User Units: Active and operational service with the armed forces and security services of several nations, including Saudi Arabia, the Czech Republic, Norway, Portugal, Chile, Turkey, Kuwait, Latvia and Lebanon.
