THE EXPERIMENT: - NS-5 was applied to both hands and forearms paying particular attention to cuticle areas and between fingers to ensure all the skin was protected before being exposed to Hydrochloric Acid.
- A container of water was prepared covered with 2 layers of commercial grade aluminium foil to prove that the substance used was Hydrochloric Acid.
- Hydrochloric Acid was poured directly into the cupped hand and held for 30 seconds.
- The Hydrochloric Acid was poured onto the aluminium foil which was instantly eaten away by the acid.
THE OUTCOME: The usual pain, burning, peeling, reddening and irritation that normally occurs when skin is exposed to Hydrochloric Acid was not experienced despite being exposed to Hydrochloric Acid for 30 seconds.
