Hydrofluoric Acid is a highly corrosive aqueous solution of hydrogen fluoride gas dissolved in water. It is a colorless to pale yellow fuming liquid with a strong pungent odor. Unlike other mineral acids, HF is a weak acid chemically but uniquely reactive due to its ability to dissolve silica and glass, and penetrate tissues deeply. This makes it invaluable in numerous industrial, laboratory, and specialized applications but also highly hazardous.

- Chemical Synthesis: Key reagent and catalyst in the manufacture of fluorinated compounds, such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), fluoropolymers (e.g., PTFE/Teflon), refrigerants, and pharmaceuticals.
- Petroleum Refining: Used as a catalyst in the alkylation process to produce high-octane gasoline components, improving fuel quality.
- Silicon and Semiconductor Processing: Critical in microelectronics for etching silicon wafers and cleaning delicate components in chip manufacturing.
- Laboratory and Analytical Uses
- Sample Preparation: For elemental analysis, HF digests silicate and mineral samples by dissolving silica matrices to allow metal analysis.
- Surface Treatment: Used to clean and prepare surfaces of ceramics and electronic materials.
- Environmental and Waste Treatment
- Occasionally employed in highly controlled settings to neutralize or break down fluorinated wastes or residues.
Secondary Uses
- Dental and Medical Applications

- Art and Craft
- Used by artists and glassmakers to create frost patterns and textures on glass objects and artworks.
- Specialized Industrial Cleaning
- Cleaning of scale and deposits in industrial equipment, pipelines, and reactors where silica or metal oxides accumulate.
- Electronics and Optics
- Etching and cleaning optical fibers, lenses, and precision glass instruments to improve clarity and performance.
- Research and Development
- Used in chemical research for synthesis and as a reagent for fluoride ion introduction in complex organic reactions.
