On the site of a company using hydrofluoric acid, employees are exposed even if they have personal protective equipment. This chemical is corrosive, a projection in the eyes is painful, can prevent from reaching a washing point to perform an immediate rinsing and represents a real danger of eye injury. It is also toxic, and even a small amount of hydrofluoric acid can lead to cardiac dysfunction.
It is necessary to provide the employee with an effective solution that will act quickly on the chemical present in the eyes in order to reduce the pain associated with it and to prevent the chemical reaction with the ocular tissues. When the accident occurs, it is necessary to be able to provide this solution to the affected employee in order not to lose time. A safe and easily applicable product will simplify the first emergency.
Benefits for the user:
Hexafluorine® solution is a liquid that removes by entrainment the aggressive chemical remaining on the surface.
The Hexafluorine® solution is hypertonic.
Les propriétés de la solution Hexafluorine® lui permettent de stopper très rapidement et simultanément l’agressivité des ions acides (H+) et des ions fluorures (F-).
It is the combination of these different properties that allows the Hexafluorine® solution used immediately after the accident to decontaminate the hydrofluoric acid splashes in an optimal way and thus avoid the terrible after-effects too often observed during this type of splashes (amputation, major surgery or even death of the accident victim by cardiac arrest).
Prevor products do not contain any phosphates.
The presence of phosphates in a solution prevents its use on certain products (e.g. lime, cement, etc…). Certain studies have shown that side effects due to phosphates can occur in some cases. Prevor in its desire for universality has always worked without phosphates.
