Synthetic helmet (˜1950) In this collection since: 08.01.2017 |
|||||
| 0856 | Fire helmet from the USA. Manufacturer of the phenol resin helmet is the company MSA. The helmet type was called "Phenolic". It corresponds in construction to the helmet model "Skullgard" which exists since about 1940. MSA wanted, due to great demand, to build a helmet with the Phenolic model, which was able to cope with higher ambient temperatures. These were neither the model Skullgard (helmet 0243, USA), nor the helmet Topgard built from 1936 (see helmet 0714, USA). MSA built the helmet shell from seven layers of phenolic-reinforced plastic, achieving heat resistance up to about 230 ° C (450 ° F) without the helmet deforming. He even held splashes of molten metal. The helmet type Phenolic existed since about 1950. While helmet 0854, USA has the complete helmet painted, this version shows very well the fabric structure on the unpainted inside. The inner helmet is diferent. Instead of ribbons, neck protection and chin straps, an inner helmet made of PVC is installed here. Even the chinstrap is made of PVC. | |||||
