No. However, the propellant in the products (the same as in shaving cream) is flammable. Therefore , the products are about as flammable as shaving cream.

Apply an amount of the product to the skin about the size of a golf ball. (Other skin areas will need varying amounts.) Make sure the entire area is completely covered. Pay special attention to the cuticles and underneath the fingernails. Rub the product over the area you want to protect and let it dry. When you want to remove soil or chemical contamination from your skin, simply rinse with water and/or wash with soap and water.

The products are a unique chemical emulsion which demonstrated a more enhanced spreadability when used in an aerosol format. As an aerosol, the products provide a much more luxurious "feel" when applied to the skin. Because of this it was found necessary to put them in aerosol form. As a result the products: Have enhanced spreadability are more economical are more beneficial to end users.

We make no guarantees or warranties, expressed or implied, concerning the performance or protection of our products. We believe these products will protect normal skin from aqueous and organic skin irritants. This belief is based on testing in laboratories and under actual conditions. We believe these products to be the best skin protectant products available.

We know that the products should not work against hydrofluoric acid and products formulated from hydrofluoric acid because the fluoride ion can attack and chemically break down the product's active ingredient, dimethicone. The products do not protect against mechanical burns or radiated heat from any hot object. They do not protect against sunburn, although the formulation of the products provided an SPF rating of at least 4 in lab testing.

antimicrobia agent (Triclosan) is included in the DermaPlus formula, helping to control the presence of bacteria, virus and fungi.

The products are specially formulated skin protectants that form a chemical molecular bond with the epithelial or top layer of the skin. The mesh-like bond actually keeps most chemicals from penetrating into the lower layers of skin where stains, odor retention and damage can occur. Skin-abusing chemical agents simply stay isolated on the skin's surface where they can be more easily cleaned off when you have completed your tasks.

The products may help protect you from nearly every inorganic or organic substance that comes in contact with your skin.

The products will not form a barrier over an open wound, cut or abrasion as long as the damaged area is emitting any type of body fluid, but neither will they be harmful. Feel free to apply the products for normal skin protection around and up to the edge of open wounds. When the wound becomes scabbed over, these products could help protect the tender, healing tissues and enhances the body's ability to heal the wound area.

application of the product costs only pennies per day. The products are very concentrated. There are approximately 30-35 applications per ounce. In addition, one should consider that the products reduce costly employee time loss due too dermatological problems when calculating the value. Skin related employee health problems are a big concern to businesses

Yes. The products help protect skin from make-up chemicals and potential allergic reactions. The best benefit of using these skin protectants for this purpose is that the make-up is much easier to remove. A number of Hollywood studios have used these products for a long time.

affirmative answer to this question is, in essence, making a claim that would be illegal to make because the products have to recognized FDA Category One active ingredients within the formulation to provide protection against toxic plants. Most of the toxins produced by these types of plants are organic acids.

The chemistry of the protective film formed by the products is very chemically inert when allowed to dry thoroughly. This physical property allows the skin surface to strongly resist the chemical interaction of solvents with the fatty deposits and/or various oils located on and with in the stratum corneum (outer surface) of the skin.

Yes, very effectively. The mail reason for this is because the electrical affinity of most adhesives to a substrate such as the skin surface, is greatly reduced due to the non-ionic nation of the film formed by the products. Basically, adhesives can no longer "stick" as readily and are much more easily removed.

Yes. The products contain no toxic or hazardous compounds. Primary ocular, primary dermal and acute oral toxicity tests have been conducted on these products and these they have been classified as non-toxic and non-hazardous according to the Federal Hazardous Substance Act Regulations (16-CFR 1500).

Yes, but always apply sunscreen first. The sun protection ingredients contained within the sun screen product must be allowed to penetrate into the skin surface in order to be effective. If applied after the skin protectant, this penetration will be prevented, rendering the sun screen product useless.

Yes. Seawater contains many positive and negative ions which can react with and cause irritation to the skin surface. The non-ionic property of the film formed by the produts prevents this chemical reaction from happening. Yes. Laboratory testing has proven that the film formed by the products can repel all type of body fluids.

No. The products are listed with the FDA as an over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. The product is marketed according to the requirements of the FDA's Skin Protectant Monograph (21 CFR Part 347). The products have been tested in government approved laboratories and shown to be non-irritating to any type of skin, including the lips. The only suggestion was not to apply the product to any mucous membranes. Tests conducted by the same labs proved the product to not be an eye irritant.

NO! Even though these products have the ability to protect your skin effectively, they will allow your skin to breathe and perspire normally. The products are naturally removed from the skin surface by normal daily sublimation.

YES! The products are manufactured under strict GMP standards as an over-the-counter (OTC) skin protectant drug product . An antimicrobial agent, Triclosan, is included in the DermaPlus and InsurSkin formulas as an additional preservative to help maintain the antimicrobial integrity of the product and aerosol extrusion pathways. A wide diversity of health care workers such as; physicians, dentists, nurses, laboratory technicians and countless others rely on the protection these products daily.

Yes! Laboratory test prove the products form a protective film which prevents penetration of moisture and other irritating substances, such as uric acid that can cause diaper rash. The products work equally well on incontinent adults. Do not apply DermaPlus on infants less then 6 months old. DermaShield can be applied to infants.

These products will provide no protection against the threat of thermal injury from hot substances coming into contact with the skin. In an incident which occurred in a restaurant, where an employee spilled hot grease over his hand and top and side of his forearm, the degree of injury was less there the skin protectant was utilized than where it was not. However, injury was not prevented.

Yes, but not against hydrofluoric acid. The film formed by the products is very hydophobic, water hating, and therefore very effective repelling water-based substances such as mineral acids. It is still highly recommends that these substances be removed as soon as possible. Quick removal helps insure the prevention of any chemical injury from these chemicals.

Yes, very effectively because the film formed by the products makes the skin surface non-ionic and, therefore, much less attractive to the electrically charged kiln duct particles. This allows the particles to be much more easily removed.

Yes, if applied correctly, the products, in essence, make it much more difficult for these type of fungi to get the oxygen they need in order to survive. When continuously applied over time to skin surfaces infected with these fungi, the irritation is stopped and healing resumes quickly. There are no active ingredients in the products to prevent these types of skin infections, therefore no claim can be made as to their effectiveness for these types of infections.

These skin protectants have proven to be very effective repelling a wide variety of alkaline substances in laboratory tests, especially 50% caustic soda. The author has literally submerged his right hand in a vat of hot 50% caustic soda with no injury or irritation (This very unscientific and unprofessional test methodology is in no way supported or recommended by the manufacturer of these products.)

Apply an amount of the product to the skin about the size of a golf ball. (Other skin areas will need varying amounts.) Make sure the entire area is completely covered. Pay special attention to the cuticles and underneath the fingernails. Rub the product over the area you want to protect and let it dry. When you want to remove soil or chemical contamination from your skin, simply rinse with water and/or wash with soap and water.
