Detailed Product Description:
This spill clean-up kit is specially-configured specifically for Hydrofluoric
Acid and its unique hazards. It is sized to handle up to the average 1-gallon
(4-liter) spill.
The Hydrofluoric Acid Spill Kit:
Many spill kits say they can be used on HF but their neutralizers contain
sodium carbonate. Though a very effective neutralizer for all common acids,
its use on HF will produce the extremely toxic salt, Sodium Fluoride as a by-product.
Our neutralizer contains calcium hydroxide which will neutralize the HF spill
to the insoluble and non-toxic Calcium Fluoride thus simplifying the subsequent
residue disposal.
Hydrofluoric Acid First Aid:
Recognizing that HF is probably the most dangerous industrial acid in existence,
this kit is further equipped with a tube of Calcium Gluconate Gel for emergency
treatment of skin contact with this acid.
Precautions:
Because of this acid’s unique idiosyncrasies, it is important to fully understand
the hazards associated with it. Click on the following links for case studies and
further descriptions of the dangers.
