Diphoterine Eyewash is the only eyewash which will properly bind with Quicklime and limit the damage it will cause if it gets into Your eyes.
A standard eye wash or sterile water solution will NOT properly neutralise or deal with the catastrophic consequences should You be unfortunate enough to get raw Quicklime in Your eyes.
In fact, it may even increase the reaction by the addition of more water. DO NOT USE THIS METHOD
Make no mistake, if You get quicklime in Your eyes and it begins to react with the moisture of Your eyeballs You have mere seconds to neutralise the chemical attack before it burns or blinds You.
When purchasing any quicklime product we STRONGLY recommend purchasing at least one vial of Diphoterine to keep at hand whilst working with the material.
This product includes a belt holster which allows the neutralising solution to be administered within seconds.
If someone gets Quicklime in their eye(s) they will not have enough time to locate an eyewash station in time and will likely panic and be in too much pain to move.
Therefore they must have this on their person at all times in order to be able to help themselves immediately.
Keep You and Your staff safe.
What value do You place on Your eyes or eyesight?
The cost of one vial might literally save Your eyes.
Do not underestimate the risks of working with Quicklime.

What is Diphoterine®?
Diphoterine® solution is an aqueous, polyvalent, washing solution that is highly effective against corrosive and irritant chemicals*
Diphoterine® solution is able to remove excess chemical by mechanical washing and then actively chelate the aggressive chemical molecule, due to its unique absorbent properties.
The Diphoterine solution molecule is polyvalent and can effectively prevent the corrosive or irritant action of acids, alkalis, oxidizing agents, reducing agents, chelating agents, and solvents.
Diphoterine® solution is hypertonic which, when applied to the eye or the skin, creates a reverse tissue flow that allows removal of any corrosive chemical that may have already penetrated into the tissue, it also neutralises its aggressive action and carries it safely away.
It is by the combination of these properties that Diphoterine solutions are uniquely able to achieve the three elements demanded in effective emergency first aid of a chemical splash:
- Removal of chemical from the surface of the tissue.
- Absorption and encapsulation of the aggressive chemical molecule remaining on the tissue surface.
- Attraction, absorption and encapsulation of the aggressive chemical molecule already penetrating the tissue.
Tests have shown Diphoterine® to be more effective than water:
Diphoterine® solution has been used for 25 years in industry, and in more recent years, within the Emergency Services throughout Europe and is registered as a Class IIa Medical Device
Diphoterine® solution conforms with the European Standards for Emergency Showers – EN15154: Parts 3 and 4
Diphoterine® solution is non-toxic and has been tested as follows:
