StingFree Liquid Skin Prep & Shield Skin Barrier Wipes are medical-grade adhesive protectants that are commonly used in hospitals and healthcare settings to prevent skin irritation, rashes, and tears caused by adhesives, friction, and other irritants. They are made with a combination of two silicon-based ingredients, Hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDS) and Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (DMC). These two chemicals act as a thin protective layer on the skin, creating a barrier between the skin and any potential irritants. HMDS is a clear liquid silicone that helps to form the protective film on the skin surface, while DMC is a volatile silicone that helps to distribute the HMDS evenly across the applied area. Together, these ingredients provide a smooth and non-irritating surface for medical adhesives or equipment to adhere to without causing discomfort or trauma to the skin.
