Gas Mask - Half Face
The half-face respirator/gas mask has been specially designed for the protection and comfort of first responders such as firefighters, riot control units and rescue teams.
Applying decades of mask manufacturing experience, when combined with suitable filters, provides superior protection against chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear(CBRN) agents in the form of gases, vapours, solids and liquid aerosols.
Due to the form-fitting construction, their universal size has sealing edges, ensuring they are perfect for all adult face shapes and sizes, except for tiny faces. The material of the face piece is designed for comfort, allowing users to wear the respirator for long periods in any weather conditions.
Thanks to its anatomical shape, our mask ensures excellent tightness yet is compatible with protective goggles. The mesh stabiliser at the back allows airflow to enhance comfort and air circulation under helmets.

Gas Mask & Filters - FAQ's
1/ Can you buy gas masks in Australia?
Yes, gas masks can be purchased in Australia. Several suppliers and distributors in Australia offer various gas masks for sale, including models designed for CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear) applications. It's important to note that while there are no specific laws against owning gas masks in Australia, it is illegal for businesses to sell gas masks containing asbestos. However, with over 80 years of ADF experience, we can train you how to get optimum perforce from your mask and filter combination.
2/ Does an N95 mask protect against gas?
N95 masks do not protect against gases. They are designed to protect against particulate matter such as dust, fumes, mists, aerosols, and smoke particulates. However, they do not filter toxic gases, vapours, or the smell of smoke. N95 masks are intended only for low hazard levels and are ineffective against chemicals, gases, or vapours. Therefore, if protection against gases is needed, adequately selected gas masks and respirators must be used.
3/ How long will a gas mask & filter last?
How long is a piece of string? The lifespan of a gas mask filter can vary based on the specific filter and environmental factors combined with the tasks being performed. Our filters have a "shelf-life" of up to 25 years and are vacuum-packed and sealed to ensure longevity. However, what makes us different is that we can custom-design gas masks & filters to fit your specific needs and industry.

Accessories for Full Face Gas Mask
Accessories
Spectacles Accessory
The spectacle accessory can be easily attached and allows those who rely on glasses to maintain clear vision while in service. The spectacle rim is supplied without prescription glass, enabling the user to have their bespoke prescription incorporated by their optometrist.
Drink Bottle & Silicone Insert
The respirator can also add a drink bottle and silicon mask insert for enhanced comfort. This model is called the CM-6MS option.
The drink bottle attaches to the respirator and allows easy drinking while fighting fires. Made of PE, it has a .81 litre volume capacity. The additional silicon shield offers additional visual quality and protection.
FIREFIT 2000 Carry Bag
The FireFit 2000 Carry Bag is designed to accommodate a half-face or a full-face mask with additional canisters. It is made of hard-wearing, fire-resistant material, ensuring durability in harsh conditions. It is lightweight and has an adjustable shoulder strap and loops to attach to a belt or other PPE. An extra waist belt can be supplied.
The design of the bag prevents condensation and impurities from getting inside. The FireFit 2000 closes with Velcro, allowing a secure respirator with a canister attached, which can be held firmly and safely in place to prevent mechanical damage. Extra canisters are placed in the lower, independent compartment, which can be firmly affixed within the bag and sealed to provide additional protection from hazards.
Black in colour, yellow fabric strips can be incorporated into the manufacturing process, and a label marked according to specifications can also be affixed. We also suggest this label has additional space names to easily identify bags.
The simple closing system with a vertical buckle lets the user open the bag quickly and put the mask on effectively. It can be easily opened with just one hand and is suitable for right- and left-handed users.
