0700002015 - ESAB Replacement Velcro Strip for PAPR Face Seals

Maintain Safety Compliance with Genuine ESAB Replacement Parts

In the realm of industrial welding and respiratory protection, the integrity of your equipment is paramount. The ESAB PAPR Velcro Tape (SKU: 0700002015) is a critical maintenance component designed specifically for ESAB Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) systems. Over time, the hook-and-loop fasteners that secure face seals, sweatbands, and other internal helmet components can degrade due to exposure to sweat, welding fumes, and repetitive adjustment. When this velcro fails, it compromises the seal of the respiratory unit, potentially reducing the Assigned Protection Factor (APF) of the system and exposing the operator to hazardous particulates.

This genuine ESAB replacement part ensures that your safety equipment continues to function as engineered. Unlike generic velcro strips which may not adhere correctly to the helmet shell or withstand the thermal conditions of a welding environment, this tape is manufactured to ESAB's exact specifications. It provides the necessary grip strength to hold face seals firmly in place, ensuring that the positive pressure environment within the helmet is maintained without leakage. Regular inspection and replacement of these small components are vital for compliance with safety standards and for the longevity of the expensive PAPR blower and helmet assembly.

Facility managers and safety officers understand that preventative maintenance extends the lifecycle of PPE. By replacing worn velcro strips promptly with the ESAB 0700002015, you prevent minor comfort issues from escalating into safety hazards. This product is an essential stock item for any maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) inventory supporting a fleet of ESAB welding helmets.
