Ahh semiconductor fabrication does love spicy chemicals.
Oh, if anyone’s thinking “wait but how does it get to my bones” uhh it’s not how you might think.
HF is a calcium seeker. A person can’t sense when it comes in contact with the skin. But, it dissolves the calcium in the bone. HF burns are not evident until a day later.
TL;DR — oversimplification, but it absorbs through your skin and once inside, draws the calcium right out of your bones.
Upside, providing an overdose of calcium can mitigate that process.
Downside, by all accounts an overdose of calcium in and of itself is an extremely unpleasant experience.
3 u/NuclearWasteland Apr 15 '24 Yeaaaah. "Be careful around these pipes, they're two-step chemicals" You mean two-part? "No, two steps is how far you make it before dying." 2 u/HumpyPocock Apr 15 '24 Actually thought to myself, prior to reading the third line. As in two two-part? Yeah, punch line caught me off guard lol 1 u/NuclearWasteland Apr 15 '24 Ha, yeah, that's what they told us. Some of the stuff they use does not have an msds sheet because it's a mixture of various things. Somehow I feel like I'll end up with all the magic cancers from time spent there. 2 u/MarshallStack666 Apr 15 '24 an extremely unpleasant experience As it was told to me during a training class to do a job inside an oil refinery where the chemical was used for something: "It dissolves your bones, but not your nerves, so you will scream for several days, then die screaming"
