What is Hydrofluoric Acid?
Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) Water solution of hydrogen fluoride is extremely corrosive and reactive. It is primarily used for fluorine compounds manufacturing, glass etching, and metal processing. Its highly acidic Hydrofluoric Acid is key to countless industrial undertakings while simultaneously requiring stringent handling due to its corrosive nature.
Common Applications
- Production of fluorine compounds: Hydrofluoric Acid is pivotal for the production of refrigerants, pharmaceuticals, and polymers.
- Metal processing: Aiding in glass etching and serving to treat and clean metal surfaces by removing oxides and impurities from the metals.
- Petrochemicals industry: used in petroleum refining with a specialization in alkylation where fuel production is enhanced
- Electronics manufacturing: cleaning and etching of silicon wafers during semiconductor manufacturing is aided with Hydrofluoric Acid.
