Dirt and oil repellent re-impregnation might be <strong>use</strong>ful <strong>for</strong> better <strong>care</strong>, and has a<br />
positive influence on durability and efficiency of protection of the clothing.<br />
Impregnation by fluorcarbonate during the last rinsing bath and consecutive heat<br />
treatment in the tumbler is recommended.<br />
Impregnation by fluorcarbonate will loose its properties after about 5 washing<br />
cycles; in order to avoid uncontrolled lost of repellent properties and probably<br />
irresponsible administration and organisation re-impregnation after each<br />
washing cycle is recommended.<br />
How to find out that the dirt and oil repellent impregnation has to be renewed?<br />
Keep the outer shell material of clothing under water; wether the water is<br />
running off the impregnation is still working. Wether the water penetrates the<br />
outer shell material clothing should be re-impregnated as above mentioned.<br />
Storage<br />
To avoid dimming of colours protective clothing should not be stored under<br />
bright sunlight or other UV-radiating sources of light.<br />
Heat or flame protective properties will not be influenced by UV-radiation.<br />
Protective clothing shall be stored dry and dustfree.<br />
During long-time <strong>use</strong> protective clothing shall be checked regularly by maximum<br />
own responsibility if all layers are intact and functional; otherwise the protective<br />
clothing shall be replaced.<br />
Disposal<br />
Used and seperated protective clothing may be recycled if it has been cleaned<br />
be<strong>for</strong>e orderly.<br />
