How to Use
- Inspect gloves carefully for tears, cracks, or punctures before each use.
- Wear on clean, dry hands; fold the rolled cuff downward to prevent chemical drips.
- Use only within verified breakthrough times for the specific chemical handled.
- After use, rinse or wipe depending on chemical type and allow to dry completely.
- Store in original packaging away from heat and humidity at or above 5°C.
Always follow measured breakthrough times—extended exposure beyond certified limits can compromise protection.
