IFRE 2025: Maskpol Showcases Protective Suits and Gas Masks

Maskpol, a company within the Polish Armaments Group (PGZ), presented part of its product range—protective suits and gas masks—at the 5th International Fire Protection & Rescue Exhibition KIELCE IFRE-EXPO.

Two Types of Gas Masks

At the Maskpol booth, two types of gas masks were presented: the MCP-01 and MCP-02, both available in three different sizes. These masks feature a polycarbonate visor and a four-point head harness for quick donning. The models differ in their communication capability and the method of attaching the filtering element.

The MCP-01 mask is equipped with a voice diaphragm system, allowing for effective verbal communication. In this model, the filtering elements are attached using bayonet mounts. The MCP-02 model lacks a voice system and is designed for mounting filtering elements using an Rd40x1.7″ thread.

Isolation Suit

The protective suit presented at IFRE 2025 was the KOM-1. It is made from Tychem barrier material, a polyethylene nonwoven fabric resistant to water, fuels, lubricants, and chemicals. Additionally, it offers short-term flame resistance. The KOM-1 suit is designed to provide:
  • a protective barrier and tight seal against the penetration of dust particles and aerosols,
  • high durability and resistance to tearing and abrasion,
  • a high level of comfort, matched to the level of protection required for the anticipated hazard, surrounding conditions, user activity level, and expected duration of use.

The suit’s hood and sleeves are finished with elastic cuffs to ensure a tight seal. For the same purpose, two-sided flaps with hook-and-loop fasteners are used to seal the zipper. The KOM-1 is available in sizes M–XXL.

The KOM-1 Isolation Suit complies with the following harmonized standards:

  • PN-EN 14605+A1:2010 “Protective clothing against liquid chemicals”. Type 3: protection against liquid chemical jet spray; Type 4: protection against liquid chemical spray mist;
  • PN-EN ISO 13982-1:2008 “Protective clothing against solid particulates”. Type 5: protection against airborne solid chemical particles;
  • PN-EN 14126:2005 “Protective clothing. Performance requirements and tests for protective clothing against infective agents” – excluding sections 4.1.3 and 4.2.

EU type examination certificate No. UE/560/2021/1437, Edition 1.

More information is available on the official website of Maskpol.
