  1. A SAR TOGA™ Permeable Chemical Protective Clothing

  2. BLÜCHER – The Name Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher 1742 - 1819

  3. BLÜCHER – The Company A privately owned company founded in 1969 Foam technology until 1989 (supplier to the German Army) SARATOGA™ carbon bead technology since 1983 = Over 30 years Experience and Competence in Permeable Protective Clothing World Market Leader for Chemical Protective Clothing

  4. BLÜCHER – Our Philosophy Custom made solutions Research & Development support Continuous and active customer care

  5. Why is SARATOGA™ the world’s leading technology for protective clothing? What are the advantages of SARATOGA™?

  6. SAR A TOGA™ Permeable Chemical Protective Clothing

  7. History of Permeable NBC Protective Clothing 1965 Non-woven with activated carbon powder (UK) strengthened with a cotton outer layer 1968 Foam loaded with activated carbon (CAN) strengthened with Nylon mesh 1978 Carbonized and activated textile (UK) strengthened on both sides through 2 textile layers 1983 SARATOGA™: spherical adsorbers on a textile carrier (DE) covered with a light textile layer as required

  8. (This side towards skin) Non-woven Light textile carrier (SCRIM) Foam Light textile carrier (knit) (this side towards skin) Carbonized Textile textile layers

  9. Textile cover (if desired) Textile carrier (this side towards skin)

  10. CAPACITY – Available Activated Carbon per m2 Non-woven with activated carbon powder (UK) 70-80 g/m2 Foam with an activated carbon layering (CAN) 70-80 g/m2 Carbonized and activated textile (UK) 100-120 g/m2 SARATOGA™: (DE) 140-180 g/m2

  11. Highest available activated carbon content: 180 g/m2 + Highest adsorption capacity + No significant desorption + Extended wearing time + Full protection after extended laundering

  12. Accessibility of SARATOGA™ Free accessibility for chemical agents = Rapid & firm adsorption durable fixation to the textile carrier = High mechanical durability

  13. Active Sweat Management System SARATOGA™ filter material Carrier fabric Adsorber Non woven

  14. + Low thickness (< 1 mm) + High air permeability + Low water vapour and thermal resistance + High sweat buffering capacity + High flexibility (Pumping Effect) = Lowest heat stress even in hot and humid climates

  15. Difficult to predict and estimate if and when chemical weapons are used Instability of political regimes and threat by terrorist groups Longer wearing time of protective clothing on lower protection levels Suitability of protective clothing in extreme climates and climatic zones

  16. The JSLIST Program (U.S.A.) Joint Service Lightweight Integrated Suit Technology

  17. JSLIST Suit Requirements Evaluations under wartime conditions in different climatic zones (including arctic, desert & tropic): • Wearing time : ≥ 45 days • Launderability : 6 field launderings • Protection time : > 24 hours

  18. USAF CWU-66/P USMC Overgarment Results of Testing and Evaluation - USA

  19. JSLIST Results 58 different fabric combinations were stringently tested 57 fabric combinations failed to pass the tests 1 fabric combination surpassed all requirements … To dateSARATOGA™ is sole source for permeable NBC protective suits for all United States Services (Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, Special Ops)

  20. SARATOGA™ in Action - Iraq 2003 SARATOGA™ JSLIST Suits

  21. Civil Users OPCW & UNMOVIC Inspection Teams Civil Defence First Responders Domestic Preparedness State & Federal Police (FBI) Border & Coast Guards Firefighters E.O.D Personnel

  22. C-Protective Undergarments • WORN UNDER DUTY UNIFORM • - Little package volume • (Liner concept) • - Lower carrying weight • - Logistical advantages

  23. WORN INSIDE GASTIGHT LEVEL A SUIT: • - Additional skin protection in case of leakage • - No secondary contamination • when taking suit off. • - Improved microclimate • (less humidity inside gastight suit)

  24. Long Shelf Life Reusability High Protection High Mechanical Stability Low Heat Stress Extended Service Life Time Low Life Cycle Costs Advantages of SARATOGA™

  25. SARATOGA™ References The leading technology on the world market Majority of NATO Soldiers are equipped with SARATOGA™ OPCW inspectors use SARATOGA™ exclusively Standard C-Protective Suit for U.S. First Responders

  26. USA All Forces, First Responders Belgium Fire Brigade, EOD Finland UN Troops, Army Germany Air Force, Civil Defence Japan Coast Guard, Fire Brigade Norway Air Force Saudi Arabia Army Sweden Army, Civil Defence Switzerland Army The Netherlands Air Force, Army, EOD Greece Special Ops U.A.E. Army Australia Air Force OPCW Inspectors Hungary Army Kuwait National Guard Egypt Army Poland Army Israel Army, Air Force Estonia Land Forces Turkey Land Forces Canada Royal Canadian Mounted Police Croatia Special Ops Denmark Army, Air Force UNMOVIC Inspectors Countries using SARATOGA™

  27. USA Belgium Turkey Netherlands Germany Japan Greece Egypt Israel Finland ...over 4.5 million suits In service in 23 nations Poland Kuwait U.A.E. Hungary Estonia Switzerland Denmark Saudi Arabia Croatia Sweden Canada Norway India
