CBRN Canister

When breathing resistance and endurance matter most, NBC‑3/SL leads the line — a robust 40 mm NATO canister for FFM/PAPR platforms with very low resistance and a 20‑year shelf life.

NBC‑3/SL is designed for operators who wear protection for hours at a time. The canister maintains high protection against solid/liquid particles and toxic gases/vapours while keeping resistance down, helping to reduce fatigue and maintain comms clarity. The hard, shock‑resistant housing stands up to operational abuse; an available NSN simplifies procurement.
