Ammonium Polyfluoride

Industrial-Grade Ammonium Polyfluoride Solution for Metal Pickling, Glass Etching, and Industrial Cleaning

Technical Specifications

Ammonium Polyfluoride (CAS No. 1341-49-7 / NH4HF2), also known as ammonium bifluoride or acid fluoride, is a specialized inorganic fluoride solution formulated with a standard concentration profile of 80% hydrofluoric acid activity equivalent and 20% ammonia content. Supplied as a reactive liquid, it exhibits high water solubility and provides a controlled, highly effective source of active fluoride ions for aggressive surface treatment and chemical processing applications.

Commercial Applications & Metal Pickling

Extensively utilized in the metalworking and manufacturing sector, Ammonium Polyfluoride serves as a primary pickling and surface treatment agent for steels and various metal alloys. In the glass and ceramics industry, it is widely applied for specialized glass polishing, etching, and frosting operations. It is also essential in the petroleum sector for crude oil well acidizing and stimulation.

Industrial Operations & Surface Maintenance

Across specialized maintenance and manufacturing environments, it is deployed for effective aluminium wheel cleaning, surface preparation of aluminium parts, and maintenance of air-conditioning devices. Additional industrial uses include textile cleaning, industrial laundry operations, and mineral processing. Distributed across the UK, Ireland, and Europe in robust 1000L IBC containers.
