PLUM pH Neutral 500 ml eye wash is a bottle of buffer solution (phosphate buffer pH Neutral 4.9%) intended for rinsing the eyes after contact with acids or alkalis. The DUO nozzle allows both eyes to be rinsed at the same time.
The product is intended for emergency situations. The neutralising solution is the first stage: after it, rinsing should be continued with standard 0.9% NaCl saline solution. The bottle capacity is 500 ml and the shelf life is up to 3.5 years.
It is suitable for places where staff may come into contact with chemical substances. Once opened, the bottle is single-use. PLUM pH Neutral 500 ml eye wash has a DUO nozzle, so rinsing covers both eyes at the same time.
Why choose the PLUM pH Neutral 500 ml eye wash?
In chemical exposure, the first minutes matter. The pH Neutral 4.9% phosphate buffer helps to balance the pH of the eye surface after contact with a hazardous substance, and the DUO nozzle rinses both eyes at once. PLUM pH Neutral 500 ml eye wash contains 4.9% phosphate buffer and is intended for immediate rinsing after contact with acids or alkalis.
The 500 ml capacity means a longer rinsing time from a single bottle, which matters in more serious chemical incidents. The nozzle is shaped to fit the eyeball and makes it easier to keep the eyelids open during rinsing.
How to proceed when rinsing the eyes after contact with chemicals?
Always use personal protective equipment. Rinse first with the pH Neutral solution, then continue rinsing with 0.9% NaCl saline solution. For mechanical irritation, 0.9% NaCl is used. Treat an opened bottle as single-use. In a serious incident, first ensure your own safety and that of the casualty, then call for help on 999 or 112.
Store the bottle in an easily accessible place and make sure the people who may use it know the order: pH Neutral → NaCl 0.9%. You can read about how to call for help efficiently in the article Emergency number 112 and calling for help.
