• Extended 9.0 L capacity — approx. 45 min air duration at moderate work rate; suited to structural firefighting, technical rescue, and extended confined space operations
• 50% lighter than traditional steel cylinders — aluminium liner with carbon and glass fibre wrapping; critical weight saving for larger-volume cylinder
• 15-year service life from date of manufacture — longer service intervals versus shorter life cylinders
