Neutralizes Hydrofluoric acid
Quick apply
Clear, colorless gel
Calcium Gluconate Gel is an antidote used to treat skin and mucous membrane burns caused by exposure to hydrofluoric acid. It works by neutralizing the acid and providing calcium ions to the affected area, which helps to reduce pain and inflammation. Calcium Gluconate Gel is typically applied topically to the affected area. It is important to note that calcium Gluconate Gel should only be used for burns caused by hydrofluoric acid and should not be used for other types of burns. HF is a dangerous acid used in a number of industries, it penetrates skin rapidly and causes serious skin burns unless immediately washed off with water and the gel antidote liberally applied, massaging it into the skin. Calcium Gluconate Gel works by neutralizing hydrofluoric acid (HF) and providing calcium ions to the affected area. Hydrofluoric acid is a strong, corrosive acid that can cause severe burns to the skin and other tissues. When the acid comes into contact with the skin, it can penetrate the skin and cause damage to the underlying tissues. The gel is composed of Calcium Gluconate, a salt of calcium and gluconic acid, which provides calcium ions that can neutralize the acid and minimize the damage. When applied topically to the affected area, the calcium ions in the gel react with the hydrofluoric acid to form calcium fluoride, a less corrosive compound. This neutralization of the acid helps to reduce the severity of the burn and minimize the damage to the skin and underlying tissues. Additionally, the calcium ions in the gel can also help to reduce pain and inflammation by binding to the nerve receptors in the affected area. This can help to alleviate the pain and discomfort associated with the burn. Store at room temperature.
