Product Change Notification: 3M™ Respirator Cleaning Wipe 504

3M recently made changes to the packaging and formulation of the 3M™ Respirator Cleaning Wipe 504. The formulation change was necessary to meet the European detergent regulation requiring biodegradable surfactants. The use and performance of the wipe has not changed. The package was redesigned to use less material yet maintain the ease of wipe storage and dispensing that users are accustomed to with the 504 Respirator Wipe. Please see below for details.
