FAQs

What is hydrofluoric acid 49% solution used for?

A 49% hydrofluoric acid solution is used in laboratory and technical applications requiring strong fluoride reactivity. Common uses include glass and silica etching, surface treatment, metal processing, and chemical synthesis, where a high-concentration hydrogen fluoride solution is required under controlled conditions.

What does a 49% concentration indicate?

A 49% concentration means the solution contains approximately 49 parts hydrofluoric acid by weight in water. This high concentration provides strong etching and reactive properties, making it suitable for specialized laboratory and industrial processes that require precise, high-strength fluoride chemistry.

What grade is this hydrofluoric acid, and why does it matter?

This product is classified as technical/lab grade, meaning it meets specifications suitable for laboratory and technical applications but not ultra-high-purity analytical work. It includes controlled impurity limits that support consistent performance across industrial chemistry, materials processing, and research environments.

Is this hydrofluoric acid supplied ready to use?

Yes, the product is supplied as a prepared aqueous solution at 49% concentration in a 500 mL bottle. This eliminates the need to dilute from a more concentrated stock, reducing handling steps while maintaining consistent chemical strength for specialized laboratory workflows.

How should hydrofluoric acid 49% be handled and stored?

Hydrofluoric acid is extremely hazardous and requires specialized PPE, including HF-resistant gloves, face protection, and proper ventilation. Store tightly sealed in compatible containers away from incompatible materials. Always follow strict safety protocols and the Safety Data Sheet for handling, storage, and emergency response procedures.
