Acids

Ammonium Polyfluoride, CAS 7664-39-3/1341-49-7, is a blended fluoride that has the formula (NH₄)HF₂ + HF.  Ammonium Polyfluoride is 80% HF Acid and 20% Ammonium BiFluoride.  It is used for pickling of steels and others metals and for general surface treatment in the metals industry, as an additive in crude oil drilling, as a polishing additive in the aluminum industry, as a polishing, frosting, and etching additive in the glass, ceramic, and porcelain industries, and as a general cleaning additive for aluminum parts cleaners as well as textile cleaning and industrial laundry souring.

Hydrofluoric Acid, 3%, CAS 7664-39-3, (also known as Hydrogen Fluoride) has the chemical formula HF.  Hydrofluoric Acid is extremely hazardous and sale is restricted.  HF Acid is widely used as an intermediate in industrial chemical manufacturing, mining clarification, oil refining catalyst production, glass manufacture and finishing, and silicon chip manufacturing. It is also used in a number of chemical preparations for metal pickling, etching, and buffing and in ceramic and porcelain applications for restoration.  **Custom concentrations and blends of HF chemistry are available from Florida Chemical.

Potassium Bifluoride, CAS 7789-29-9, has the formula KHF₂.  Potassium Bifluoride is used in metal fluxes and silver solder fluxes, in Fluorine cell electrolyte, as a polymerization catalyst, and in the induction of fluorine in organic synthesis.
