ProTect Personal Protection - complete protective equipment specially adapted for swimming
The best protection against injuries is to work preventively, create routines and have knowledge and awareness of the products used. In this way, many accidents can be prevented. For example, always wear appropriate protective clothing such as glasses, boots, gloves, visors, etc.
Time is of the essence!
Within 10 seconds of chemical splashing in the eye, it starts to corrode the tissue and on the body you have 60 seconds before it penetrates deep into the skin with permanent damage. Diphoterine is an active rinsing liquid that quickly and effectively neutralises both acids and bases commonly used in a bathhouse. Diphoterine also has the ability to stop the chemical attack quickly and prevents chemicals from penetrating the tissue. Diphoterine is used today by industries, governments, hospitals and emergency services all over the world.
When flushing with Diphoterine compared to water alone, a much better effect is achieved in a much shorter time and with much less fluid. For quickest assistance in the event of an accident, Diphoterine should be carried in a holster attached to the belt.
Lost sight can never be regained!
Make sure that you have read these instructions carefully and practised at your leisure how to, for example, easily reach Siew by the belt, open the holster and bring Siew to your eye. In case of an accident, you will know how to proceed.
- Remember to use all Diphoterine in the bottle. Always contact your doctor or healthcare professional if you have had a chemical accident.

Most common chemical accident
A common accident is also that a liquid that damages the eyes splashes out of a pump or pipe when it is dismantled for repair. Pressurised equipment should always be depressurised and drained before dismantling, if technically possible. Eye protection is also needed if the liquid can damage the eyes.
