Market Sectors
Active chemical first aid for every industry where corrosive and irritant chemicals are handled — from pharmaceuticals to mining, food production to emergency services.
Corrosive and irritant chemicals do not respect industry boundaries. Wherever concentrated acids, caustic alkalis, oxidisers, solvents, or reactive compounds are handled — in any volume, at any frequency — the risk of a serious chemical burn is present. And when it happens, the outcome is determined almost entirely by what happens in the first ten seconds.
DipHex Solutions is the UK's exclusive distributor of Diphoterine® and Hexafluorine® — the world's leading active chemical first aid solutions, trusted by EHS managers, safety professionals, and first aiders across more than 40 industries for over 30 years. Unlike water or standard eyewash stations, Diphoterine® actively stops the chemical burn rather than simply diluting the surface — rendering the aggressor harmless through amphoteric chelating action that works across all seven major chemical classes simultaneously.
The industries below represent the sectors where chemical burn risk is highest and where the gap between standard water-based provision and active decontamination is most consequential. Each sector page sets out the specific chemical hazards, the scenarios where standard provision falls short, and how to address them.
If your sector is not listed, the chemical risk almost certainly still applies. Contact DipHex on 01622 851000 or at enquiries@diphex.com — our technical team can assess your specific hazard profile and recommend the right provision for your site.
