Semmco Head 10 Chemical Oxygen - Escape Set
HEAD10 is an award winning respiratory protection used for escape. It is a lightweight, ergonomic, closed circuit hooded apparatus, providing the wearer with a safe, simple and effective means of escaping an irrespirable atmosphere of toxic gasses, Oxygen deficiency or smoke.
When the user breathes out, water vapour is released which combines with potassium superoxide (KO2) in the unit resulting in oxygen and potassium hydroxide. This potassium hydroxide (KOH) reacts with exhaled carbon dioxide (CO2) to produce potassium carbonate (K2CO3). Result - oxygen given and carbon dioxide taken away.
The wearer can move unhindered by bulky equipment because not only is the HEAD10 lighter, faster and easier to don but it has no straps, valves or activation system so operates hands free. The hood allows for excellent panoramic vision while the automatic starting system and built in alarm further assist with safety.

- Excellent face seal
- Clear panoramic visor for excellent field of vision
- Storage integrity indicator for constant visual awareness of the unit's condition
- Clear voice communication
Instant Oxygen Supply
HEAD10 uses a starter candle to boost the initial start-up phase of the oxygen generation by inflating the breathing bag and purging oxygen into the KO2 generator cells located either side of the wearer's head.
Good Fit
For maximum protection, it is important that HEAD10 fits well and the carefully moulded oronasal mask provides an excellent face seal.
Internal Cooling Mechanism
This mechanism is incorporated to provide necessary cooling for the breathing circuit whilst diffusing the air supply. Historically, chemical oxygen escape sets are warm to wear and breathe, HEAD10 overcomes these historical problems via the internal cooling mechanism that reduces the operational temperature.
Visual and Audible Alarm
These alarms provide the wearer with a three-stage audible and visual alarm sequence.
Stage 1: initiated on start up.
Stage 2: initiated after 66% of the effective duration.
Stage 3: initiated when the effective duration of the set has been reached.
Lightweight
HEAD10 is light and comfortable to wear because the generator cells that constitute to the majority of the weight are evenly. HEAD10 weighs 1.5Kg
Storage Integrity Indicator
HEAD10 is sealed in a container that incorporates an indicator providing constant visual awareness of the unit?s integrity and condition. The system allows the unit to be stored, with no maintenance costs, for an initial 6 years and a further 3 years following satisfactory validation/re-certification test.
Storage and Carrying Systems
HEAD10 can be stored in a wall-mounted box or can be carried in a carry bag that is discarded when HEAD10 is donned.
