TBRT Engineering MASKHAZE

TBRT Engineering, LLC’s MASKHAZE is an SCBA smoke-simulating film that was specifically designed to better imitate the real-life effects of smoke and how it impairs sight. MASKhaze is made of a pliable vinyl with patent-pending technology that alters sight the same way real smoke does. When applied to an SCBA, the MASKhaze can be used in ambient light environments for search and rescue, RIT/RIC, and other training simulations. In addition, it has a nonpermanent adhesive that leaves no residue and allows the product to be reapplied and reused multiple times. MASKhaze comes in three SCBA mask styles: MSA-Ultra Elite, Scott AV-3000, and Drager FPS-7000.
