Surface and Skin Sampling Products
Surface and skin hazards can be chemicals that cause dermatitis or skin damage, or chemicals that can enter the body through intact skin and cause toxic effects in various organ systems. The properties of such hazards may be they can penetrate or injure the skin, are toxic if ingested, can be an inhalation hazard if resuspended, and can remain on surfaces for long periods. Examples of such chemicals are amines, isocyanates, metal dusts, pesticides, VOCs, acids/alkalis, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dioxins. SKC offers a range of products for surface and skin sampling, in order to detect the presence of such chemicals.
The HSE offers guidance on managing skin exposure risks here.
SKC Inc. acquired Colormetric Laboratories, Inc. (CLI) in July 2019 and will continue to provide the CLI products with excellent customer and technical support.
