Wet bench
Wetbenches make
sure that the
cleanroom stays pure
:
Prevent
Contamination
All wet bench users
• While working on wet bench, it is
mandatory to
– Wear lab shoes
NITRILLE
– Thin chemical resistant gloves : used in laboratories
– Strong material : used for installation and maintenance of tools
TRIONIC (MAPA)
– Thick chemical resistant gloves : used for cleaning up leaks
– Nevertheless don’t put your hands in liquid chemicals!
Heavy Duty Neoprene
TRIONIC (MAPA
PVC
1st danger : Chemicals in the eyes
Splashes in the eyes
Always pour acid in water and never the other way
round
Never look in
• recipients with reacting or boiling liquids
• Opening of bottles of liquids
• Glass splinters by breaking of glass or explosions
• Solids in the eyes are irritating too
• Vapors or gasses can cause irritation
1st danger : Chemicals in the eyes
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES
WITH SIDE SCREENS
Liquids
– Gasses can escape when liquids evaporate
– When some chemicals are mixed, dissolved gasses can
escape
– Solvents evaporate very easily (low boiling point and high
vapor pressure)
Solids
– Powdery solids can create fine up whirling dust, that can be
inert, irritating, harmful or toxic.
Classification of chemicals
By properties :
– organic - inorganic
– Synthetic materials
– acids and bases
– strong electrolytes - weak electrolytes
– Oxidizing and reducing products
– State of aggregation :
solid - liquid - gas - glass - plasma - …
– metal - non-metal
– oxides (acid forming, base forming, amphoteric)
Classification of chemicals
According to health risks :
– Toxic
– Harmful
– Combustible
– Irritating
– Corrosive
– Carcinogenic
– Mutagene
– Teratogenic

Symptoms HF injury:
diluted HF solution < 20%
• sometimes it can take up to 24 hours before
symptoms appear (pain, rash)
• results in deeper penetration and more painful
burn (especially at hands and finger tips )
• the surface symptoms are minimal and may be
absent
• sometimes white discoloration skin seldom blisters
forming
• HF solution >20%<49%:
• symptoms sometimes just noticeable after a few
hours!
Symptoms HF injury:
HF 49%
• almost immediate deep throbbing pain,
burning feeling,(especially at hands and
finger tips)
• red discoloration with whitish blister
forming tissue under skin starts dying off
bone de-mineralisation
• Systematic fluoride intoxication
• painful treatment in hospital (plastic
surgery possible)
Hydrofluoric acid (HF) injuries
First aid of HF burns
• emergency shower: immediately rinse
copiously with water (15 minutes)
• remove contaminated clothing
• a first-aid helper needs to treat the wound
with calcium gluconate gel and cover the
burn with plastic foil.
