There recently has been a serious incident at a manufacturing site in Western Australia involving 98% H2SO4
. As a result of this, corporate SHE is implementing the use of a wash so
lution called diphoterine. Has anyone heard of this? It's intended as a fir
st aid measure (instead of water) to flush the skin and is supposed to amel
iorate blistering and/or reduce pain from contact with acids and alkalis. Mary Beth Lanza 
If anyone has any knowledge of it or experience using it I would be i
nterested in hearing about it.
Thanks.
