Now get triple assurance with a single suit certified to NFPA 1991 base requirements. Frontline® 500 offers three-way protection — broad chemical holdout, plus flame resistance and superior radiant heat protection for the additional hazards encountered in a chemical flash-fire.
Kappler's single-suit design means goodbye to the days of a cumbersome two-suit NFPA 1991 configuration. As with all Kappler apparel, this is a multi-use, single exposure garment. Offering comparable protection to Kappler's Zytron® 500 chemical apparel, Frontline 500 provides excellent holdout for the ASTM F1001 battery and beyond.
For optimal radiant heat protection, Kappler's commitment to user survivability led us to use the more demanding Pyroman Thermal Manikin testing instead of the NFPA 1991 Chemical Flash Fire Option. Pyroman results for Frontline 500 indicated 0% body burn — a huge confidence factor when facing a chemical flash situation.
