We do not yet have a distributor in Japan so we send Gel directly from California ...it is not expensive because it is not heavy. You should get product in about 5 days: service from California to Japan is excellent.
In case you wonder what we are about...we are dealers in Fine Mineral Specimens catering to Collectors, Researchers and Museums. Our background is in Pharmaceutical Research. We found that many people involved in preparation of minerals like ourselves, are using HF with only the degree of care that regular acids require... very risky because far more care is needed with HF than with other acids.
Calcium Gluconate Gel 2.5%, is kept nearby whenever one works with hydrofluoric acid, ammonium bifluoride or other soluble fluorides in case of contact with skin. If skin contact occurs wash off skin with water soon as possible. Then apply a liberal amout of gel onto the affected area to greatly decrease the effect of absorbed fluoride. Fluoride is absorbed into skin rapidly; valuable time is lost in treating an exposure while going to a doctor, hence the need to have gel ready to apply as soon as the incident happens. In any case one should then seek medical attention taking the tube of gel with them. Without gel, a simple spill of HF on skin can rapidly turn into a medical emergency. Even one drop can get very painful and take a long time to heal: specially dangeous under fingernails, and on the face.
With a strong background in chemistry and pharmaceuticals (over 20 years in the pharmaceutical industry) we urge one to get adequate training in handling HF and to always have calcium gluconate gel on hand. We offer Calcium Gluconate Gel 2.5% to all users of HF since the acid has numerous applications: biology, chemistry, electronics, engineering. No prescription is needed to buy it. It is a chemical, not a medicine. It is not toxic.
