Hydrofluoric Acid 20%

Description :

Overview of Hydrofluoric Acid 20%

Hydrofluoric Acid 20% is a diluted, corrosive acid solution composed of hydrogen fluoride mixed with water. It is widely used in controlled industrial applications where a lower-strength fluoride source is required, offering effective glass etching, metal cleaning, silica removal, and chemical synthesis with better handling safety compared to higher concentrations.

This clear, pungent-smelling liquid reacts strongly with metals, silica, and minerals, making it valuable in surface treatment, semiconductor cleaning, and specialised manufacturing processes. ChemicalBull supplies high-quality Hydrofluoric Acid 20% suitable for regulated industrial and laboratory applications.

You may also like Sodium Fluoride, Hexafluorosilicic Acid, Ammonium Tetrafluoroborate, and Tin Fluoride for various fluoride-based industrial uses.

Applications of Hydrofluoric Acid 20%

Glass & Surface Etching

• Used for controlled etching and polishing of glass and silica-based materials.

• Preferred for decorative etching, laboratory glass modification, and optical-grade finishing.

Metal Treatment & Cleaning

• Removes oxide layers, scale, and surface impurities.

• Used in preparation of metals before plating, coating, or passivation.

• Common in stainless steel pickling and aluminium finishing.

Electronics & Semiconductor Industry

• Used in wafer cleaning, oxide removal, and microfabrication processes.

• Essential for precision cleaning in electronic and semiconductor manufacturing.

Chemical Manufacturing

• Used as a precursor for producing fluorinated compounds.

• Suitable for catalyst treatment, inorganic synthesis, and laboratory reagent applications.

Safety & Handling Guidelines

• Wear acid-resistant gloves, goggles, a face shield, and full protective clothing.

• Avoid inhalation and direct skin contact — always handle in a ventilated area.

• Store in corrosion-resistant plastic containers only (not glass).

• In case of contact, apply calcium gluconate gel immediately and seek medical help.

Follow all regulatory safety, transport, and disposal guidelines.
