Diphoterine® solutions properties

This aspect is interesting and should be stressed in further studies, as DIPHOTERINE solution reduces the oxidative stress involved. The differences in the levels of biological markers were most likely due to the improved washing properties of DIPHOTERINE solution which left less hydrochloric acid residue on the skin to cause injury. 

Design of DIPHOTERINE solution was also to add new additional secondary properties, so as to go beyond the limits of water when possible ... 

To the main mechanical washing effect, DIPHOTERINE solution adds chelating and amphoteric abilities which aim to stop each of the six possible reactions with chemical substances (acid-base reaction, reduction/oxidation, chelation, addition, substitution, solvation). Its hypertonic property allows it to attract chemical product from tissues to the outside. The solution is applied with a spray or with a shower depending on the stroked area, even if previously an irrigation with water was done previonsly. Nevertheless, some anthors have shown that the better results are obtained when DIPHOTERINE solution is first applied. 

Comparing the properties of DIPHOTERINE and HEXAFLUORINE solutions (Table 4.7). 

So, washing with water was a major improvement over non-washing. The use of DIPHOTERINE and HEXAFLUORINE solutions allows further treatment improvement over washing with water only. It therefore reduces the likelihood of injury due to chemical skin exposure. An amphoteric/chelating agent is able to stop or limit, as described in Chap. 3, the reactivity of chemicals such as acids, bases, oxidizers, reducers, chelating agents, and solvents. This property avoids or limits the skin lesions which result in chemical lesion injuries.
