If your workshop still cleans stainless steel welds with pickling paste, you will know how unpleasant the process is. It is hazardous to handle, leaves a significant mess, and takes time that most production schedules cannot afford.

It removes many of the barriers that make respiratory protection programmes difficult to manage across a large or varied workforce. What Is the CleanSpace AGILE? CleanSpace designed...
