Note: Some cosmetic changes may become noticeable and are expected dur-
ing the normal aging process. White residue may appear and is caused by an
FDA approved wax additive that is in the rubber by design. This wax was cho-
sen because it is not harmful should it contact the user's skin. The wax affords
the rubber the required protection it needs during expected product use. It is
normal for this wax to come to the surface and can be cleaned by using MSA
Confidence Plus (P/N 10009971). Rubber surface imperfections may be
observed upon closer inspection of the mask and are typically caused by the
white wax residue. These imperfections are also noticeable due to a "streak-
ing" appearance where the wax does not come through the rubber. This rub-
ber surface change is a result of the aggressive rubber primer used during the
lens bonding process. It is required by the design to ensure a robust lens bond
is made.
