PPE Cleaning
cleaning & repair
At LION, we believe that firefighter protection extends far beyond the frontline. That’s why we partner with DECONTEX, a company that shares our commitment to health, safety, and sustainability. In Europe, DECONTEX leads with its DECO₂FIRE 1M liquid carbon dioxide (CO₂) cleaning technology, while in the U.S., our RedZone CO₂ Clean system follows the same science-driven principles.
Both systems are supported by rigorous quality control processes to ensure PPE is not only decontaminated but also preserved at peak performance. Together, we are raising the global standard for PPE care, keeping gear clean, safe, and mission-ready after every call.
Every intervention leaves behind more than smoke. Firefighters’ turnout gear absorbs toxic residues, PAHs, and carcinogens that can threaten long-term health and compromise protection. Traditional washing methods often fail to remove deep-seated contaminants and may damage advanced protective fabrics.
Liquid CO₂ cleaning changes that. Using pressurized CO₂ in liquid form, the process penetrates every layer of turnout gear, dissolving and removing harmful substances without the need for heat, friction, or water. The patented DECO₂FIRE™ process is a proven technology, verified by eight independent notified bodies, delivers full decontamination, reducing toxins to below detectable levels while preserving fabric integrity.
This 100% waterless, ISO 23616 compliant, low-temperature, and non-abrasive process also disinfects, deodorizes, and re-impregnates the gear, restoring its water repellency and breathability. It extends garment life, lowers environmental impact, and keeps firefighters safer, longer.
