Divator rubber stains/discoloration

[FloridaFlightMedic]

Good afternoon,

I was wondering what the best way to ckean the rubber on a Divator MKII is. I have slight discoloration, doesnot affect use, but I want it to look better. Thanks again

Mild soap and water is the best, scrub it lightly if necessary with a light nylon brush. What kind of discoloration? Mildew, Betadine? Is it a gray mask turning brown?

just discolored, been sitting for a while, got the majority of it off. LOL, yeah betadine would leav some stains too

The gray rubber masks are know to do this. I believe this alone does not mean there is an issue with the mask but inspect it closely for cracking becuase it could be that it needs to be replaced. The great thing abot these masks is how easy it is to replace components. I have replaced my visor, rubber skirt, inner mask valves without any issues.

Good Luck,
