A unique solution for the Emergency First Aid decontamination of HYDROFLUORIC ACID (HF) splashes in the eyes or on the skin.
Hydrofluoric acid is one of the most hazardous chemicals to health because of its aggressive characteristics:
A corrosive action on the tissue due to the acids H+ ions.
A toxic action within the body due to the fluoride F- ions.
A 45 year old worker was exposed to a 70% HF splash
■Immediate washing with water was carried out for 15 minutes
■The patient received IV injections of calcium and magnesium as well as local applications of calcium gluconate gel.
■1 year loss of work.
HEXAFLUORINE® is an aqueous washing solution, with hypertonic and chelating properties, that is highly effective against HF and its derivatives.
1.
HEXAFLUORINE® is able absorb and neutralise both the acid H+ ions and the fluoride F- ions. Its chelating power on these ions is 100 times greater than calcium gluconate gel.
2.
HEXAFLUORINE® is hypertonic, which enables it to stop the penetration of both the H+ and F- ions and create an inverse flow which pulls the chemical to the surface of the tissue.
HEXAFLUORINE® is safe to use on both skin and eyes.
