When working with aqueous substances, such as disinfectants, diluted acids or alkalis, appropriate skin protection is of great importance in order to minimise health risks.
In industries such as metalworking, healthcare, food production and cleaning, employees often come into contact with aqueous substances. This refers to substances that are dissolved in water or mixed with water. Examples include disinfectants, diluted acids and alkalis, water-miscible cooling lubricants and cleaning agents.
Regular exposure to aqueous agents can pose various risks to the skin. The most common problems are dehydration and skin irritation caused by the removal of natural oils and moisture from the skin. In addition, a weakened skin barrier can facilitate the penetration of other harmful substances, which can lead to allergic reactions or even chemical burns.
Specialised skin protection products are essential to effectively protect the skin from the risks of aqueous agents. These products are designed to form a protective barrier on the skin that minimises direct contact with harmful substances. The selection of the right skin protection product should be tailored to the specific working conditions and the type of aqueous substances in order to ensure optimum protection.
Our skin protection cream Aktivin® MaxxSchutz offers very effective protection against aqueous and water-soluble substances thanks to its greasy formulation. It also offers good adhesion, has a high covering effect and is very well tolerated by the skin.
