JOINT SERVICE GENERAL PURPOSE MASK
(JSGPM)
 As a subcontractor to Avon Rubber &
Plastics, Guild Associates is performing all of the filter design work,
which amounts to 20% of the total contract award. Guild Associates is
responsible for the development and production of the primary and
secondary filters to be used in the mask. This project involves
development of a primary filter that removes the required NBC agents
and as many TICs (Toxic Industrial Chemicals) as possible. The filter
has a minimal thickness, and the shape conforms to the contour of the
mask around the face.
Guild investigated three concepts for a thin, conformal-shaped filter.
Working with the user community, Guild settled on a conformal granular
filter with a twist-off connection. Utilizing a novel adsorbent packing
technique, the filters satisfied the chemical agent challenge
requirements of the JSGPM program. Guild continues to improve
filtration performance and broaden the protection agents TICs.
