Professional hand washing paste, soap, cream or gel: do you know the difference?

The diffusion of hand-washing products in industry testifies to an ever-increasing awareness of the need for skin care and the prevention of occupational pathologies linked to contact with the irritating and aggressive substances most commonly used in the workplace: professional hand-washing pastes, as well as other products specifically designed for cleansing, are now indispensable allies of craftsmen, who see their hands as a real work tool and need to clean them thoroughly and protect them from the most common contact damage.

The choice of alternatives on the market is increasingly vast, but it is good to check their quality, their cleansing effectiveness and their practical gentleness on the skin. Nettuno has chosen to create a line of professional handwash products designed to meet the most specific needs and meet the unique mix of needs of workers engaged in the most diverse manual activities.

 

Professional hand-washing paste or other formulations: which is right for you?

Every single product in the Nettuno catalogue has its own special features and is designed specifically to wash away a certain type of dirt, provide the right abrasive capacity and be the ideal partner in the context of specific tasks. What defines the macro-categories of the Nettuno products is their consistency: from hand-washing paste to cream, from gel to soap, each proposal has its pluses.

Which one to choose?

 

The best professional handwashing paste Nettuno

Professional handwashing paste is the best known product and is traditionally used by a wide variety of workers. It is a cleaning paste with a strong abrasive power and is designed to make it easier to remove substances such as oil, grease, hydrocarbons, lubricants, rust, bitumen and graphite.

Nettuno offers hand-washing pastes in three versions:

• la Rossa in Pasta is the super-concentrated professional hand-washing paste from the Nettuno line, enriched with mineral microgranules and emollient sericin, but free of solvents;
• The Linea Blanca contains mineral microgranules and a high concentration of soaps, but is free of wood flour and silica sand;
• the Linea Più features a mix of vegetable and mineral microgranules, which give the product a particularly effective cleaning action.

The presence of emollient and soothing ingredients in the handwash pastes for professional use keeps the skin moisturised and protected, for an intense cleansing action suitable for different categories of workers, such as carpenters, farmers, building constructors, window and door fitters, electricians, car electricians, blacksmiths, tyre fitters, mechanics and metalworkers.

Nettuno Hand Wash Gels

The gel line of the Nettuno range are designed to emulsify and remove the most technical and tenacious soils while preserving the well-being of the skin. The Rossa in Gel, for example, is enriched with microgranules derived from pumice ideal for removing special dirt (glues, paints, polyurethane foam or silicones), but also contains sericin with an emollient effect.

Manipulite CremaGel, on the other hand, can effortlessly remove resins, enamels, fresh paint, silicones and sealants from the skin, but has a pH of 6.7 and an effective emollient effect on the skin. Similarly, Nettungel Orange gently abrades technical soils, thanks to naturally-derived solvents and mineral microgranules, as well as emollient olive oil extract.

 

Nettuno Professional Hand Wash Cream

Handwash cream is the new frontier of handwash paste. It has a creamier consistency and is sometimes referred to as liquid handwash paste, although its texture is thick and perfect for professional and frequent use.

It proves to be perfect for Nettuno’s objective, namely to offer every professional a hand-washing solution with a combined cleansing and emollient action, offering deep cleansing of the skin without stressing it and preserving its health over time. What characterises this type of handwash product is precisely its gentleness on the skin, while being complemented by the traditional cleansing effectiveness of the best-performing professional handwash pastes.

In order to make a well-considered choice at work, it is essential to understand the concrete advantages of handwash cream and how to use it, as well as to select the alternative most in line with your daily needs. What does Nettuno offer?

Macrocream is the best known product of the cream line, because it has both a strong abrasive action, provided by microspheres of vegetable origin, and excellent nourishing and emollient properties. Even in its Ecolabel version, it is solvent-free and has an extremely gentle pH on the skin, making it perfect for daily use.

The Rossa in Crema and the Linea Blanca Extrafluida also have soft cream textures, promising an active cleansing effect thanks to their mineral microgranules, while providing the epidermis with deep moisturisation and a valuable support to best perform its physiological barrier mission: sericin and olive oil extract are, again, the secrets behind the emollient action.

 

Nettuno Hand Wash Soaps

In addition to cream, gel and paste textures, professional hand washing products can also be offered in liquid soap versions. In the Nettuno online catalogue you can filter the products by appearance and thus discover the proposals that fall into the soap category.

Among the products most appreciated by workers is undoubtedly Sammy 20/S, an extra-strong liquid formula that, although free of solvents or abrasive granules, manages to effectively emulsify all types of dirt, exploiting the powerful cleaning and degreasing action of its saponified vegetable fats. Ideal for workers in contact with the toughest dirt (such as mechanics, blacksmiths or shipbuilders), it contains among its ingredients emollient substances that clean the skin, leaving it soft, smooth and protected from aggression.

The same method of use is typical of Fler A/15, the Nettuno liquid soap designed for the removal of medium to heavy professional dirt. Again without microgranules and without chemical solvents, it is generally recommended for professional categories such as electricians, building constructors, tyre specialists and car electricians, in constant contact with grease and oil, lubricants, hydrocarbons, bitumen, graphite and rust.

When the need is to clean hands by removing light soiling, Nettuno’s products designed for frequent use in community environments such as schools or offices come to the rescue. Puliman and Puliman Ecolabel are suitable for light soiling, while it is useful to rely on products such as Sendygien when deep hand sanitisation is essential. Flor Soap, Rose Soap and the Sendy line (Spray, Soap and Foam) complete Nettuno’s range of alternatives for hand cleansing, offering a valid solution for those seeking gentle daily cleansing that respects the skin’s special needs.
