Speed Plastics, a specialist in high frequency welding, is delighted to be working with TST Sweden to manufacture Xtreme hood; a brand new chemical escape hood.
Speed was approached by TST to manufacture their escape hoods after the company had experienced supply chain issues.
The Speed Plastics team were proud not only to deliver a high-quality product but they also worked with the client to improve the efficiency of the manufacturing process.
The Xtreme escape hood was manufactured using polyester and cotton coated with PVC and was created to offer protection against dangerous substances.
The hood features a silicon face piece and exhaust valves, as well as a connector for the gas filter that is attached to the hood.
It also comes with a soft carrying bag which is made from a strong, durable and water resistant material. The bag can be worn on a belt, carried over the shoulder or round the waist and also features brackets for wall mounting.
“We have been extremely pleased with the high level of service we have received from Speed Plastics,” said Mats Svenbe of TST Sweden.
“Quality is essential in a product of this kind as we never know where or when someone will need protection from dangerous chemicals. There is also a large demand for the product so it’s great that Speed are true to their name and can ensure a fast turnaround.”
Speed Plastics specialise in high frequency welding of flexible plastics such as PVC, polyurethane film, polyester and polyurethane-coated textiles. The company offers a complete manufacturing service and a range of bespoke engineering solutions.
Operations Director Jane Collyer, said: “This was a great project to work on and I am delighted that TST are pleased with our service. A fast turnaround was needed so my team worked weekend shifts to ensure we meet the agreed deadline.
“We pride ourselves on exceptional customer service and in this instance, we were able to work with the clients to ensure the process was as efficient as possible whilst still maintaining the highest quality levels.”
