Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

First-aid measures

General advice

Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Hydrofluoric (HF) acid burns require

immediate and specialized first aid and medical treatment. Symptoms may be delayed up to 24 hours depending

on the concentration of HF. After decontamination with water, further damage can occur due to

penetration/absorption of the fluoride ion. Treatment should be directed toward binding the fluoride ion as well as

the effects of exposure. Skin exposures can be treated with a 2.5% calcium gluconate gel repeated until burning

ceases. More serious skin exposures may require subcutaneous calcium gluconate except for digital areas unless

the physician is experienced in this technique, due to the potential for tissue injury from increased pressure.

If inhaled

If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician.

In case of skin contact

Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a physician.

In case of eye contact

Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician.

If swallowed

Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with water. Consult a physician.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Exposure controls

Appropriate engineering controls

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at

the end of workday.

Personal protective equipment

Eye/face protection

Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166 Use equipment for eye protection tested and

approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

Skin protection

Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without

touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves

after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands. The

selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard

EN 374 derived from it.

Body Protection

impervious clothing, The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the

concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.

Respiratory protection

For nuisance exposures use type P95 (US) or type P1 (EU EN 143) particle respirator. For higher

level protection use type OV/AG/P99 (US) or type ABEK-P2 (EU EN 143) respirator cartridges. Use

respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH

(US) or CEN (EU).
