Don't get an eyeful
November 1st 2009 If you have employees working with
acids and alkalis found in substances
such as cleaning chemicals and
batteries for electric fork trucks their
eyes and skin could be at risk.
Kingfisher says a normal saline
eyewash can take more than 3 hours to
have any effect on acids or alkalis.
eyeVolution from Kingfisher is a
rapid and effective neutralising agent
for acids and alkalis in the eye or on
the skin. A 1 litre bottle has the same
effect as 50 litres of normal tap water
Immediate application could
prevent further damage to the eyes;
acids and alkalis can penetrate the
cornea in just 45 seconds.
The 200ml bottle gives a rinse time
of up to 2 minutes which gives the user
time to treat the eyes and skin. Many
other eyewash bottles only rinse for 20
seconds. The image above shows the
results of contact with an over-charged
battery. More articles from Kingfisher Sales & Marketing: |
