Dosage
and Administration
It is highly recommended to wash/flush the area with cool water
for 15 to 20 minutes (5 minutes if Calgonate is readily available) to remove hydrofluoric acid residue. Then apply
Calgonate freely to the affected areas of the skin and continuously
massage into the skin. Reapply Calgonate and massage into the affected
area every 15 minutes, until medical assistance is given.
If the acid has penetrated below the nails, Calgonate should be
liberally applied over and around the nail area, and the area should
be continually massaged for 15 minutes.
All HF burns should be referred to a hospital after washing
and starting initial first-aid procedures with Calgonate.
