Diphoterine has proved to be a good first-aid measure against Bromine Splash
Dated – 26-09-2022
To Whomsoever it may concern
We at Chemclone Industries, Ahmedabad handle Bromine, Caustic Lye and solvents in our manufacturing process. We had purchased Diphoterine first-aid solution (for eye and skin burns) from HSE Solutions Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai (Subsidiary of PREVOR, France) regularly. We have kept the solutions in various risk locations in the plant area and employees are trained in using the same in case of chemical burns emergency.
Case of Bromine Splash: While charging of Bromine due to inline pressure of Bromine carrying line, it splashed on the operator who charging the Bromine. Splashed Bromine came directly on chest and on hand. Diphoterine first-aid solution was used immediately by an officer and affected area was washed thoroughly with the solutions. Later up he was send to hospital. On checking his affected area doctor commented that his chest and hand was saved. His chest and hand area were becoming normal after a day rest.
We feel that Diphoterine has proved to be a good first-aid measure in many instance and we strongly recommend its use. We are also happy that the supply is very prompt and representatives from HSE Solutions Pvt. Ltd., conduct regular awareness training for the employees.
Yours faithfully,
For Chemclone Industries
