I recall reading a peer-reviewed article in the ACGIH journal in 2006 or 20 07 about diphoterine.  It is supposed to neutralize liquids or other wise prevent the further dilution of light-end petroleum-based material (e. g., gasoline, diesel, JP-8), that more easily penetrate skin when d iluted.  What I was at NAS Whidbey Island, we were considering pur chasing diphoterine for use by spill respond personnel who had dermal conta ct with JP-8, avgas, gasoline, and diesel.

H i all,
I heard about this incident second hand.  Have any of you heard of diphoteri ne?

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 solution called diphoterine. Has anyone heard of this? It's intended as a first aid measure (instead of water) to flush the skin and is supposed to ameliorate blisteri ng and/or reduce pain from contact with acids and alkalis.

If anyone has any knowledge of it or experience using it I would be interes ted in hearing about it.

Thanks.
