Hi Aileen
I did a quick Google search and found an interesting article at
http://www.mines.edu/academic/courses/physics/phgn435/HF.pdf
This is an ongoing issue here as HF used in many labs.

Subject: Hexafluorine vs Calcium Gluconate in the treatment of HF burns
I am wondering if anyone might have current articles or information
evidencing the use of hexafluorine vs. calcium gluconate for skin or
ophthalmic exposures to hydrofluoric acid. I've been asked by one of our
labs about changing to hexafluorine but can't find much UK data to back this
up. Hex fluorine appears to be widely used as the treatment of choice in
Europe and the USA but I'd be grateful for any current UK thinking on this.
Regards
Aileen
