Skin Cleaning and Skin Protection in connection with Printing Inks ...

If we imagine, that the skin contains about 5'000 sensory nerves, 400 nerve fibers and
200 nociceptors („pain receptors“), we slowly gain an idea of the importance to protect
this highly sensitive organ against aggressive influences at our best possible.
Dermatosis, Allergies, Eczemas
How does it come to a skin disease?
This question is fast answered: The skin is in
contact with harmful substances every day. The skin
ph value becomes weakened, the skin reacts with
an irritation.
Consequences are first reddenings, maybe itching;
the skin is dry and tautens.
The final result is a so-called Abrasion Dermatosis
(rough, chapped skin).
The barrier function of the skin is destroyed and
potential allergens (but also pathogenic agents as
bacteria and viruses) can penetrate easily.
The creeping consequences of such a cumulative
irritation are serious:
Skin diseases as Dermatosis, Allergies and Eczemas are unpleasant, painful and do
not look and feel very nice.
With the hands we are acting – or maybe not (anymore). Skin diseases as mentioned
above are not only cost-, but the treatment also very time-intensive and affect the
quality of life of the concerned in a brutal way.
A simple shakehands for saying Hello becomes suddenly to an embarrassing
situation, to say nothing of the strain of a relationship which can be caused by such a
skin disease or the fact, that maybe even the job must be changed in order to gain
control of the skins heavy reactions.
