SKC introduces Hygenall Decontamination Towels for the safe and effictive removal of lead and other toxic metals from skin. The patented* specially formulated towels wipe away 98% of lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, and other toxic metals, leaving skin feeling refreshed and clean. Decontamination Towels not only protect workers, but also help prevent toxic hand-off to other objects or people outside the workplace.

* U.S. Patent No. 7,604,997
When used according to directions. Contains no EDTA, alcohol, aloe, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), parabens, formaldehyde donors, BHT, DEA, betaines, dyes, preservatives, or high pH anionic surfactants that may cause skin irritation or disrupt the skin barrier.

How the Towels Work
Decontamination towels combine texturing with a special formulation for dislodging, capturing, and removing metals adhered to skin. The 7 x 9-inch engineered towels provide mechanical removal while the special formulation cleanses, adjusts pH, and chelates toxic metals. The CDC has proven this combination more effective than soap and water or other wipe methods. Full Disclosure Kits and Hygenall Towels are Partners in the new Lead IDC Kit
