Bold New Moves
AirBoss-Defense undergoes a new phase, as it leverages a new vision, new facilities and new capabilities to develop a range of personal protective equipment (PPE) solutions focused on human factors and ergonomic designs. The overarching goal: provide soldiers using CBRN PPE with a lighter burden and enhanced performance.

The overarching goal: provide soldiers using CBRN PPE with a lighter burden and enhanced performance.
Opened in July 2012, the company’s new R&D Centre of Expertise, located an hour east of Montreal in Bromont, Quebec, Canada, is already fully staffed and delivering results on multiple ongoing developments. Complete with meeting rooms and offices, the facility houses two clean rooms and a design room, and offers pilot manufacturing capa- bilities, such as batch suspension polymerization, moulding, and carbonization. First-class physical property testing and chemical analytical capabilities testing are supported by a comprehensive liquid and gas Toxic Industrial Chemical (TIC) testing line.

First-class physical property testing and chemical analytical capabilities testing are supported by a comprehensive liquid and gas Toxic Industrial Chemical (TIC) testing line.
The TIC line includes a photo-acoustic spectrometer and gas chromatograph with PDHID for liquid, vapour and gas permeation testing on air permeable and impermeable materials (ASTM D739, NFPA 1994, EN 13832-3:2006), as well as breakthrough test- ing for filter canisters and activated carbon beds (NIOSH CBRN and ASTM D5160).

Defense: Carbon Monoliths (carbon-based self-suported sorbent structures) for next genera- tion fi lters. Complete monoliths have already been manufactured, and initial performance data indicates highly promising advantages over traditional loose-packed carbon fi lters, (e.g. reduced size and weight, improved breathing resistance and better overall performance). Although full industrialization will take another year or two, these new fi lters promise to be a real game-changer. Also in development is a next-generation CBRN

much more, in the last months, than open a new lab: it has created a hub for sharing knowledge and collaborating while engaging in a new paradigm where the next generation CBRN PPE is seen as a whole rather than a sum of individual parts. Along with a focus on reducing user burden, this more holistic approach, which envisions CBRN protection as integral to the Soldier System, will continue to be a major driver as AirBoss- Defense develops the next generation of CBRN protective equipment. zy
