Hydrofluoric acid is used to make most fluorine-containing compounds; examples include commonly used pharmaceutical medications.

Elemental fluorine is produced from hydrofluoric acid. It is commonly used to etch glass and silicon wafers.

In dentistry, Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) acid is used to etch the internal surface of the ceramic restoration (PDF).

Hydrogen fluoride is used to make refrigerants, herbicides, high-octane gasoline, aluminum, plastics, electrical components, and fluorescent light bulbs.

Sixty percent of the hydrogen fluoride used in manufacturing is for processes to make refrigerants. Hydrogen fluoride is also used for etching glass and metal.

Hydrogen fluoride is a colorless, corrosive liquid or gas and is composed of a hydrogen atom and a fluorine atom.

It has a strong, irritating odor. Hydrogen fluoride readily dissolves in water and is referred to as hydrofluoric acid (HFA) in its dissolved form.

Hydrofluoric acid (HFA) is one of the strongest inorganic acids known; it has been widely used since its ability to dissolve silica was discovered in the late 17th century.

Currently, HFA is used in masonry restoration, glass etching, and semiconductor manufacturing; for control of fermentation in breweries; and in the production of plastics and fluorocarbons.

It is also used as a catalyst in petroleum alkylating units. It is available in industry as a liquid in varying concentrations up to 70%. It is also readily sold in home improvement and hardware stores.

Significant concentrations of HFA are present in many home rust removal products, aluminum brighteners, automobile wheel cleaners, and heavy-duty cleaners in concentrations of less than 10%. 

Hydrofluoric Acid Safety

When hydrofluoric acid comes into contact with human skin, it causes deep burns. 

Hydrofluoric acid (HF) differs from other acids because the fluoride ion readily penetrates the skin, causing destruction of deep tissue layers, including bone.

Hydrofluoric acid burns are a unique clinical entity. Dilute solutions deeply penetrate before dissociating, thus causing delayed injury and symptoms.

It must be used and stored in polyethylene (PE) bottles and vessels. Bottles for storage of HF must have secure caps and lids that can provide a gas-tight seal to prevent escape of hydrogen fluoride gas. Hydrofluoric acid should never be disposed of by drain.
