Description

Hydrofluoric Acid, also known as Hydrogen Fluoride, Fluoric Acid, Fluorine Hydride, and Fluor Hydric Acid appears as a clear, colorless to yellow liquid. It is a fuming liquid with an acidic, strong suffocating odor. It is shipped as a compressed gas in steel cylinders and is soluble in Water and Alcohol but slightly soluble in Ether. It is the strongest inorganic acid and is commonly used in research due to its ability to etch silicon compounds. Lab Alley’s Hydrofluoric Acid contains 5% Hydrogen Fluoride mixed with 95% of Water. Chemically pure or Laboratory reagents are two terms often used to describe Lab Grade chemicals. Lab Grade chemicals do not meet any accepted quality or purity requirements such as the ACS Grade, the USP Grade, and the FCC Grade, despite their acceptable purity
