Unique Protective Cream Improves Health and Comfort for Glove-Wearers

Half of all industry workers wear occupational gloves on a regular basis, so the need for comfort protection is high. Triple Active Gel combines a physical barrier protection with patented Deb Active Defense Molecules (DADM) to provide a gel which has the ‘triple active’ benefits of being an anti-allergen, anti-irritant and anti-perspirant. 

Glove-wearers are facing increasing challenges related to hand health and comfort when wearing occupational gloves, which can affect overall productivity and efficiency. Whilst gloves provide physical protection for hands, the skin remains exposed to allergic and irritating substances from the working environment. This can lead to skin irritation and excessive hand sweating, which not only creates discomfort for the wearer through skin softening, but sweating can also cause dampness in gloves, resulting in malodours which can be unpleasant for the wearer.

Deb’s patented DADM Technology inside the Tripe Active Gel encapsulates and absorbs allergens known to cause allergic skin reactions and allergic dermatitis. At the same time, DADM combines with a physical barrier protection to help block and neutralise acidic and alkaline substances that can cause skin irritation and lead to irritant dermatitis. Independent scientific tests have shown that Triple Active Gel reduces the rate of water loss from the skin by 63% and skin redness by 31%; both key indicators leading to skin irritation. The revolutionary hand care solution can also reduce sweating in occupational glove-wearers by 50%.

The partnership between Ansell and Deb was first announced in May 2015 in a move to combine their expertise in the hand protection and hand skin market. The Ansell Triple Active Gel is a true innovation in occupational skin care and has been specially developed using Deb Stoko Technology for workers wearing mechanical, chemical or disposable gloves in all industries. It helps reduce the risk of contact dermatitis, increasing protection and comfort, prolonging glove wearing time and improving total cost in use.

 Triple Active Gel is available in UK, Ireland, France, Germany and Austria through key distributor partners. Both Ansell and Deb sales teams have also been trained to provide expert information and support to distributors and customers.
