Hands are now brought into focus more than ever before due to intensive washing and disinfection. Although this is good for hygiene, it does take its toll on skin health. Frequent washing damages the skin\u2019s natural protective acid mantle, leaving it hardly any time to regenerate. This can be particularly problematic for metal machine operators, as the already severely irritated skin is further stressed when in contact with metal working fluids. The risk potential for skin conditions and the resulting absences from work are on the rise. It is better to use skin-friendly products that preserve the skin\u2019s protective acid mantle as much as possible and have a preventive effect \u2013 just like the 700 series from Rhenus Lub. The water-miscible metal working fluids are extremely skin-friendly and their performance and price are also impressive.<\/p>\n
The change in thinking in the industry is noticeable. Although effective skin protection has previously only been a minor issue for many production managers, awareness of skin-friendly lubricants is growing, as Daniele Kleinmann, Head of Product Management for Metal Working Fluids, explains: \u201cMore and more production managers are examining how they can better protect the skin health of their employees. With our water-miscible metal working fluids 700 series from Rhenus Lub, we are helping those who want to actively counteract the rise in stress to the skin and ensure better skin health for their employees \u2013 and all this at a good price.\u201d<\/p>\n
Versatility is the key to this. Besides universal products that can be used for a wide variety of applications, 700 series from Rhenus Lub also includes special products that can be used for grinding and demanding materials such as aluminium alloys and zinc.<\/p>\n
The products from Rhenus Lub\u2019s 700 series combine everything that modern skin protection requires. They are free from amines and extract less liquid and oil from the skin, thus reducing the damaging effect. Thanks to the relatively low pH values, the rhenus 700 series is particularly kind to the skin.<\/p>\n
And it pays off. The rhenus 700 series not only makes active skin protection possible at attractive prices. As a result of the reduced stress to the skin, skin irritations, allergic reactions and costly secondary conditions can also be minimised. This is a key economic factor, as studies show that about one third of all skin conditions confirmed as occupational illnesses are caused by lubricants.<\/p>\n
