Hegshield is a non-greasy mousse. Applied to the hands or other exposed skin only once every four hours it gives THE MOST COMPLETE PROTECTION AVAILABLE against the oils, inks, paints, adhesives, acids, bases, solvents, harsh soaps, alcohol, polishing products, biological fluids etc. which would otherwise:

  • penetrate the skin
  • be very difficult to remove
  • cause unsightly & damaging hardening & drying of the skin
  • leave odours on the skin
  • risk causing dermatitis

IN THE UK ALONE THERE ARE ALMOST 70,000 CASES EACH YEAR OF WORK-RELATED SKIN DISEASE, CAUSING PERSONAL DISTRESS, COSTLY TIME OFF WORK - AND COMPENSATION CLAIMS APPROACHING £150,000 PER EMPLOYEE. MOST OF THESE CONSEQUENCES AND COSTS COULD BE AVOIDED BY THE ROUTINE USE OF HEGSHIELD.

A shot of Hegshield is applied to the hands or other skin areas once every four working hours. It binds into the skin, while still allowing it to breathe & perspire normally and without making the skin greasy or insensitive. The Hegshield is removed only by the natural shedding of skin layers - so it remains effective however many times the hands are washed or wiped during the period.

Oil and other grime can be washed off using Heghand or Hegwipe - or even ordinary bathroom soap - without using harsh degreasing gels. Offensive odours will not linger on hands treated with Hegshield. The need for protective gloves - which are frequently ineffective - is reduced. Whilst protecting the skin, Hegshield carries nutrients and moisturisers into the skin to keep it robust and healthy.

Using one shot of Hegshield every four hours, a worker can get protection for fourteen months from one 500 ml. can of Hegshield. Hegshield can be supplied with a wall-mounted lockable dispenser.
