I recall reading a peer-reviewed article in the ACGIH journal in 2006 or 20
07 about diphoterine. It is supposed to neutralize liquids or other
wise prevent the further dilution of light-end petroleum-based material (e.
g., gasoline, diesel, JP-8), that more easily penetrate skin when d
iluted. What I was at NAS Whidbey Island, we were considering pur
chasing diphoterine for use by spill respond personnel who had dermal conta
ct with JP-8, avgas, gasoline, and diesel.
