Hydrofluoric Acid Safety Tips
Hydrofluoric Acid Safety Matters
Hydrofluoric acid is strong and dangerous, and it is related to safety and should not be ignored. The following items must be kept in mind.

First, the importance of protection
When working, comprehensive protection is the top priority. Special protective gear is necessary, such as corrosion-resistant clothing, which is tough and can resist the erosion of hydrofluoric acid; wear thick gloves, which are tight and seamless, which can prevent it from touching the skin; wear anti-goggles, clear vision, and protect the eyes from splashing. If the ventilation is not good, it is even more necessary to prepare respiratory protection devices to prevent the inhalation of fog and damage to the lungs.

Second, the rules of operation
When operating, the movement should be slow and stable. When taking hydrofluoric acid, use a special appliance, scoop it slowly and do not spill it. If you need to dilute, you must put acid into the water, inject it slowly, and keep stirring. Do not do the opposite, to prevent explosion boiling and splashing. The operation is neat and orderly, and the debris is removed to prevent accidental contact and risk.

3. Emergency measures
In case of accidental contact with hydrofluoric acid, immediately rinse with a large amount of water. The water flow should be slow and continuous. After a long time, make sure that the acid is exhausted. If it splashes in the eyes, you must flush quickly and open the eyelids to ensure that the rinsing is comprehensive. Then seek medical attention without a slight delay. If the clothes are contaminated, take them off quickly to avoid acid infiltration.

Fourth, the method of storage
Hydrofluoric acid storage, need to choose a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. The container must be specially made, acid-resistant and tightly sealed to prevent leakage and volatilization. The logo is clear and eye-catching, indicating the risk, so that everyone who sees it knows to be cautious. And do not mix with alkalis, active metals, etc., to prevent their chemical reactions, leading to disaster.

Be careful in all things, and follow this, and the security will be safe.
