CPP Garments

CPP augmented reality experience shows CPP undergarments in action and how it protects firefighters from dangerous gases and particles. Fire fighting is among the most hazardous occupations in terms of exposure to complex particles and chemicals such as PAH's (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) present in gases and smoke. Some PAHs penetrate protective outer clothing and are small enough to penetrate beneath the skin’s surface. Dermal exposure to PAHs has been linked with cancer. CPP undergarment’s double action prevents them from reaching the skin. First, the CPP Particle Filter traps the majority of remaining particles. Secondly, CPP activated carbon adsorbs remaining particles & gases, locking away potentially hazardous PAHs. Current standard garments have a PAH protection factor of 15. This dramatically improves to one thousand with CPP undergarments.
