Prior to first use and after each use, MSA recommends that the user thoroughly clean the face seal area with a non-alcohol based mild detergent that the individual knows will not cause an allergic reaction. Allow the seal to dry completely before use.
NOTE: Over time, compounds may migrate to the surface of the rubber faceblank giving a white, powdery appearance. This is a natural process that does not impact facepiece performance, but cleaning is advised to reduce the risk of skin irritation.
