HEXAFLUORINE

HEXAFLUORINE® is an active eyewash solution developed by the PREVOR risk management and toxicology laboratories for hydrofluoric acid (HF) splashes.

Hydrofluoric acid (HF) has two effects on live tissue:

Corrosive effect due to hydrogen ions (H+) that attach to surface tissues (cornea epithelium or epidermis), Toxic effect due to fluoride ions (F–) that penetrate the skin through the damaged upper layer with its acidity and bonds to the calcium in the body, causing biochemical, cellular and tissue damage.

HEXAFLUORINE® is used immediately after splashes of hydrofluoric acid and fluorides in acidin medium. Using HEXAFLUORIDE® immediately after the splash, meaning using the whole package in any form, prevents the burn from spreading and reduces the risk of injury.

    

HEXAFLUORINE® and ITS MECHANISM

HEXAFLUORINE® is a special solution used in case of hydrofluoric acid burns in the eye or on the skin. It has two mechanisms, with a hypertonic structure that has a pincher effect: 

The hypertonic effect of HEXAFLUORINE® prevents the chemical from penetrating the tissue and creates a reverse flow that draws the chemical to the surface.

  • Neutralization and pincher effect allows it to act against this acid that has both corrosive (H+) and toxic (F-) effect, therefore causing severe burns.
