You are stuck with one manufacturer, Fluke. They pretty much are the only one with models approved for this market.

Just for the guys that do not know
IP67 is DIP (dust ignition proof ) rated that can be used in Ex zone 21 and 22 ( explosive dust or fiber zones )

I'm glad you got it sorted out.  The EX model is not cheap $$$.
