Operating instructions

Instructions for use

• It is recommended to check that the gloves are suitable for the intended use, because the conditions of use at workplace may differ from the "CE"-type tests.
• Persons sensitized to dithiocarbamates and thiazoles should not use these gloves.
• Put the gloves on dry, clean hands.
• Do not use the gloves in contact with a chemical for a duration in excess of the measured breakthrough time. Refer to the website www.mapa-pro.com or contact the Technical Customer Service - MAPA PROFESSIONAL (stc.mapaspontex@mapaspontex.fr) in order to know this breakthrough time. Use 2 pairs alternatively when in long duration contact with a solvent.
• Turn the cuff end down in order to prevent a hazardous chemical from dripping onto the arm.
• Inspect the gloves for cracks or snags before reusing them.

Storage conditions

Store the gloves in their original packaging protected from light, humidity and heat.

Chemical chart

The chemical test data and overall chemical protection rating should not be used as the absolute basis for glove selection. Actual in-use conditions may vary glove performance from the controlled conditions of laboratory tests. Factors other than chemical contact time, such as concentration and temperature, glove thickness and glove reuse, may also affect performance. Other glove requirements, such as length, dexterity, cut, abrasion, puncture and snag resistance, or glove grip also need to be considered in making your final selection.
