Blue Dot HF Antidote Gel (25g, Pack of 12) is a calcium gluconate-based treatment gel formulated specifically for skin burns caused by hydrofluoric acid (HF) exposure. The gel reacts with HF to form insoluble calcium fluoride, effectively halting calcium depletion from body tissues and bones and minimising deep tissue damage. Research supports rinsing the affected skin with water for one minute, then gently massaging the gel into the area until pain subsides as the most effective initial treatment.

Applications
Essential for laboratories, chemical manufacturing plants, glass etching facilities, semiconductor production sites, and any UK workplace where hydrofluoric acid is stored or handled.
