Diphoterine
Diphoterine is a sterile washing solution used for the emergency management of chemical spills to the eyes and body.Diphoterine contains an amphoteric, chelating molecule a substance which is capable of reacting with both acids and alkalis. When applied to either type of chemical spill, stopping the aggressive action of a corrosive or irritant chemical, halting the reaction with the body.
However, it is not fully effective at halting the body's reaction with hydrofluoric acid. This is because hydrofluoric acid is poisonous as well as corrosive. A different solution, Hexafluorine, is required to deal with hydrofluoric acid contamination.Effectiveness
Efficacy has been shown in studies in a clinical setting and also in studies on animals.
