Cement dermatitis

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

OSHA standards are increasingly cracking down on concrete plants whose materials may cause cement dermatitis which can damage the skin because it is caustic, abrasive, and absorbs moisture.

Industrial workers (concrete,
construction, automotive, etc.) who come in daily contact with these abrasive
materials are at risk of developing skin problems ranging from mild-and-brief,
to severe-and-chronic − often leading to lower productivity.

In response, Cresset Chemical Company has advanced its original SOL-ZOL Hand
Cleaner for dry, cracked, and irritated skin. Uniquely formulated for use against harsh materials, the hand cleaner
features a mineral oil based carrying agent fortified with proprietary lotions that promotes the healing of skin
chapped from cement, lime, gypsum, grease, etc.

The highly effective, industrial-strength formulation quickly cleans the heaviest industrial soils while promoting
skin comfort by lotionizing dry, cracked, work-sore, and irritated skin. The proprietary formula is also pH balanced− therefore neutral and safe for daily use.
Most importantly, the proprietary lotion’s regenerative properties keep hands consistently moist. This helps
combat cement dermatitis and cement burns that may result in blisters, itching, redness, swelling, scaling, or
dead/hardened skin.
