NBC FILTER CANISTER TYPE 80
 
The Type 80 filter canister was developed for the Israel Defense Force (IDF) to provide protection against all known NBC agents in the form of vapours and aerosols. 
The Type 80 is a robust durable canister intended for military and civil defense use. It is specially designed for comfort and extended use at a minimal physiological load, having low breathing resistance and low weight.
Its design assures optimal performance complying with all IDF specifications as well as the performance requirements of the American Army C2 filter canister. The filter is supplied with a standard Nato thread (40 mm x 1/7”) and is thus compatible with almost all military and industrial respirators. The Type 80 filters are supplied sealed with leak-proof plastic caps, assuring a shelf life exceeding 15 years.

• Filter medium: Glass fibre HEPA media complying with ASME AG-1 Section FC-1

The production of Type 80 filter canisters is controlled by rigorous quality assurance tests and procedures. Each filter canister is tested in the production line for air flow resistance, aerosol penetration, leakage and workmanship, and cannot leave the factory without passing all these tests. In addition the QA laboratories perform gas-life tests (cyanogens chloride, DMMP, chloropicrin, phosgene, HCN) on charcoal samples from each drum and on completed canisters sampled from each production lot.
