rath's "PR88" Skin Protection Barrier Cream (10-Liter Bulk Pail) - Part Number: 50080100
rath's PR88 Skin Protection Barrier Cream (part number 50080100, high-volume industrial bulk packaging in a 10-liter pail / bucket) is the time-proven gold standard in occupational pre-work skin barrier protection (“invisible glove”) against oily, greasy, and stubbornly adhering industrial grime. Engineered for large manufacturing plants, fleet repair bays, and multi-shift workforces, it dries rapidly to form an elastic, stable, and breathable barrier film that shields skin pores and nail beds from lubricating oils, heavy greases, automotive paints, graphite, soot, bitumen, polyurethane adhesives (PU), synthetic resins, and silicone compounds. Formulated 100% free of silicones and preservatives, it maintains tactile sensitivity, ensures slip-free tool grip, and allows all accumulated grime to wash away cleanly at shift end using only running tap water, eliminating the need for toxic thinners and harsh abrasives.
Key Features & Benefits
- High-Capacity 10-Liter Industrial Bulk Supply: Large-volume pail delivers unmatched cost efficiency and extended operational autonomy for large workforces, serving as a master refilling source or central pre-work station.
- Water-Soluble “Invisible Glove” Protective Action: Dries into an invisible, non-greasy micro-shield resistant to all water-insoluble industrial media; at shift end, the film dissolves upon contact with water, lifting away bonded contaminants effortlessly.
- Firm Slip-Free Tool Grip & Preserved Dexterity: Sets within 1 to 2 minutes without leaving sticky or slippery films, ensuring precise handling of hand tools, air tools, measuring instruments, and vehicle controls.
- 100% Silicone-Free & Preservative-Free: Leaves zero silicone traces on handled metal panels or assemblies, ensuring full compatibility with automotive paint shops, spraying booths, and technical adhesive bonding.
- Dermatologically Approved Skin Compatibility: Clinically proven to preserve natural dermal respiration without clogging pores, substantially decreasing the incidence of occupational contact dermatitis.
- Water-Only Cleanup (Zero Hazardous Solvents): Traps contaminants on top of the barrier film so they rinse away with plain water, sparing technicians from using dangerous paint thinners, petrol cleaners, and aggressive scrubbing pastes.

Technical & Operating Note:
1. Apply: Prior to starting work, take a hazelnut-sized portion (approx. 2–3 ml) from the pail and rub thoroughly into clean, dry hands – paying special attention to fingertips, cuticles, and nail beds. Allow 1 to 2 minutes to dry completely until an invisible, non-tacky barrier forms.
2. Work: The durable, elastic barrier shields skin against non-water-soluble industrial soils throughout the entire shift.
3. Wash: At the end of the shift, gradually add small amounts of water to the hands and rub until all grime is dissolved. Rinse thoroughly under running water and dry. All dirt is carried away cleanly together with the rath's PR88 film. Seal the pail tightly after each use to keep the bulk cream fresh.
