Those most prone to burn injury are children, the elderly and the disabled. Occupations that present the highest risk for burn injury include electricians, and people who work in the chemical, petroleum and food services industry. |  |

Why Water-Jel |
|
|
|
Water-Jel is a water-based, water-soluble gel that draws the heat out of a burn while it relieves the pain, cools the skin, and protects against airborne contamination. By applying Water-Jel as soon as possible, the heat of the burn is dissipated and helps prevent the heat from progression deeper into the skin. The gel consists of 96% water and has the same cooling effects as water, but because it is thick, it stays on the burn and doesn't evaporate. Water-Jel also contains thickening agents and preservatives to maintain the gel's viscosity, efficacy and give it a 5-year shelf life. |
