February 26th 2026, Cadillac, US: Avon Protection has received an order for its MILCF50 CBRN Filter from an existing customer in the Middle East. The order is valued at approximately $12.7 million. 

MILCF50 is a CBRN filter canister with a unique conformal shape that provides a low-profile close fit to the face, minimizing snag and pull hazards to the wearer, as well as a reduction in neck loading.  

MILCF50 is a broad range protective filter that meets the NIOSH CBRN APR standard at the 15-minute classification level (CAP 1), the European Standard EN 14387, and the relevant criteria specified in the NATO AEP-73 specification for protection against chemical and biological warfare agents in aerosol, liquid, vapor and particulate form.  

Steve Elwell, President, Avon Protection, said: “Avon Protection’s MILCF50 provides extremely robust and reliable protection for personnel operating in CBRN threat environments, and we are pleased that it remains the filter of choice for many military users around the globe.”
