Which Solution Do You Need?
Plum offers two sterile solutions for different hazard types. Choosing the right one depends on what chemicals are present on your site.
- Dust, particles, and foreign body removal
- General chemical splash: first response flushing
- Cement, lime, and calcium-containing substances
- Welding flash and thermal irritation
- All industries: universal application
- Acid splashes (sulfuric, hydrochloric, battery acid)
- Alkali exposure (ammonia, caustic soda, degreasers)
- Chemical processing and laboratory environments
- Battery charging and handling areas
The Plum Safety Range
From pocket-sized rinse ampoules to complete wall-mounted stations, a solution for every worksite, every hazard, every team size.
Single-eye bottles in 0.9% sterile saline and 4.9% pH Neutral phosphate buffer. One-hand activation, sealed sterile until use.
Patented eyepiece rinses both eyes simultaneously. Available in saline and pH Neutral. Reduces rinsing time and improves coverage.
Wall-plate stations for quick access in clean environments. Single and double bottle configurations. Visible, always ready.
Dust-protected boxes for harsh environments. Green Box for indoor/outdoor, iBox for heavy industrial. Heated options available.
Pocket-sized 20ml sterile saline ampoules for immediate first response. Wall dispenser available. Ideal for first aid kits and vehicles.
Belt bags, thermal protection bags, wall signs, pictograms, and Plug & Heat Box for cold environments. Complete your eyewash setup.
Why Plum Safety?
European-engineered, ISO 13485 certified, and trusted across industries worldwide. Here's what sets Plum apart from the alternatives.
Patented eyepiece rinses both eyes simultaneously, for faster and more thorough coverage in an emergency.
Longer than leading competitors. Fewer replacements, lower total cost of ownership, less waste.
ISO 13485:2016 quality system. EU Medical Device Regulation compliant. Manufactured to pharmaceutical standards.
Sealed, single-use bottles maintain sterility throughout shelf life. No contamination risk from refilling or exposure.
Built for Your Industry
Different worksites face different chemical hazards. Here's how Plum fits your industry's risk profile.
Dust, sulfuric acid, process chemicals, cyanide solutions. Remote locations with limited water access.
Cement, lime, concrete dust, solvents. Saline only. Phosphate buffer must not be used with calcium-based materials.
Mixed acids, alkalis, solvents, biological materials. Requires AS 4775 compliant stations at every bench.
Battery acid, dangerous goods handling, fuel spills. Mobile crews need portable, vehicle-mounted solutions.
Acids, H₂S exposure, drilling fluids, corrosive chemicals. Harsh conditions require dust-proof, heated stations.
Pesticides, herbicides, ammonia-based fertilisers. Often no access to running water, so portable solutions are essential.
Simple When It Matters Most
No training required. Plum's intuitive design means anyone can respond in seconds.
Remove the bottle from its station. Opens with one hand, even with gloves on.
Twist off the sealed cap. The sterile solution is ready immediately, with no mixing and no prep.
Hold the bottle against the eye(s) and squeeze. DUO rinses both eyes at once. Continue until medical help arrives.
AS 4775 Emergency Eyewash & Shower Equipment
Australian Standard AS 4775-2007 sets out the requirements for emergency eyewash and shower equipment in workplaces where hazardous chemicals are used. Here's what your site needs to get right.
-
Eyewash must be reachable within 10 seconds of any chemical hazard
-
Travel path must be unobstructed, on the same level, with no doors
-
Plumbed stations must deliver 1.5L/min for a minimum of 15 minutes
-
Portable bottles are supplementary and do not replace plumbed stations where required
-
Weekly activation testing and annual inspections are mandatory
-
Solution should be tepid (16 to 38°C) and hands-free operation is recommended

No. Under AS 4775, portable eyewash bottles are classified as supplementary equipment. They provide critical first-response rinsing in the seconds before a worker reaches a plumbed station, but they do not replace the requirement for plumbed eyewash and shower facilities where hazardous chemicals are used. That said, many remote worksites, vehicles, and field operations rely on portable bottles as the primary immediate-response tool, with medical evacuation as the follow-up protocol.
Use pH Neutral (4.9% phosphate buffer) when your site handles strong acids or alkalis: sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, caustic soda, ammonia, and similar chemicals. The buffer helps neutralise the chemical on contact. Use saline for dust, particles, general irritants, and critically, for any exposure involving cement, lime, or calcium-containing substances where phosphate buffer should not be used.
Different approach, different strengths. Diphoterine uses a single amphoteric solution designed to work against a broad range of chemicals. Plum offers two targeted solutions (saline for general use, pH Neutral for acids/alkalis) plus a significantly wider product range: DUO dual-eye bottles, dust-proof stations, heated units, and ampoules. Plum also offers a longer shelf life (3.5 years vs 2 years) at a lower price point. Both are ISO 13485 certified.
Plum products have a 3.5-year shelf life from manufacture. Every bottle is clearly date-stamped. For compliance, check dates during your weekly eyewash station inspections and replace bottles at least one month before expiry. Alliance Safety can set up scheduled reorder reminders for your site to ensure you’re never caught with expired stock.
