The Main Problems of Improvement of the Means of Individual and Collective Protection in Russia

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the problems of further improvement of the Russian means of individual and collective protection and to the ways of their solution. Thus, in order to reduce the weight of the facial parts of advanced indigenous masks of respiratory protective equipment, as well as for the improvement of their appearance, it is necessary to procure from abroad or to master independently the technologies of the production of chlorobutyl rubber and volcanics. It is necessary also to acquire from abroad or to learn how to produce indigenously the special rubber processing equipment. The output of modern materials for the production of flexible facial parts, panoramic glasses and spectacles (masks) for respiratory protective equipment is impossible without the procurement from abroad or mastering independently the technologies of the synthesis of optically transparent polyurethane. The further improvement of catalysts and sorbents used in canisters for filter respirators is impossible without the development of technologies of the production of fine pored catalysts and sorbents on their basis, as well as without the recovery of indigenous base for the production of sorbents and active charcoals. The output of modern filtrating materials depends completely on the development of technologies and the equipment for the production of special laminated board and other technologies of the production of multilayered filtering materials. The development of advanced means of skin protection requires the mastering by the Russian manufacturers of technologies of obtaining of microporous, air-ermeable carbon-filled material of high quality and with reinforced physical and mechanical properties. In order to produce the lightweight isolating means of skin protection is it necessary to master technologies of the production of multilayered and armor-clad membranes with high protective and physical and mechanical properties. The problems of the development and the production of the materials for the means of collective protection are the same as for the personal respiratory protective equipment.
