Product Overview
Case of 20 - Unused 3M BE-10-20 Tychem Hoods for Air-Mate and Breathe Easy PAPR
These 3M BE-10-20 Tychem double-bib hoods are designed for use with the Air-Mate and select Breathe Easy PAPR configurations, providing loose-fitting headgear protection in environments requiring particulate and splash barriers.
3M spent decades refining its PAPR ecosystem, and the BE-10 series reflects that lineage: practical engineering, wide-view visibility, dependable airflow distribution. This case sat quietly in OEM packaging, waiting for a moment when someone who understands these systems needs them again.
Product Condition
Unused, new old stock in OEM packaging. The hoods are kept in original packaging and show no signs of use. Case contains 20 individual BE-10-20 units.
Product Overview
The BE-10-20 hood is built from Tychem material for lightweight durability and resistance to particulates and low-level liquid splashes. When connected through the proper 3M breathing tube and used within a NIOSH-approved Air-Mate PAPR configuration, the hood supports loose-fitting protection without requiring fit testing. Its double-bib design enhances coverage across the shoulders and upper torso, making it suitable for extended wear across industrial, emergency response, and healthcare environments.
