Hydrofluoric Acid 0.5% Solution
Hydrofluoric Acid, also known as Hydrogen Fluoride, Fluoric Acid, Fluorine Hydride, and Fluorhydric 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. It is soluble in Water and Alcohol at ambient conditions. It is the strongest inorganic acid commonly used in research due to its ability to etch silicon compounds. Lab Alley?s Hydrofluoric Acid, 0.5% Solution, Lab/Technical Grade contains 0.5% by volume of pure Hydrofluoric acid dissolved in 95% by volume of Purified Water. 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. Unless a high purity grade (>90%) is needed, Technical Grade chemicals are of sufficient quality for industrial applications. Lab/Technical Grade chemicals are mainly suitable for utilization in large-scale commercial manufacturing
