About this product
Ammonium bifluoride is a toxic inorganic compound of industrial production, used in the glass, oil and metallurgical industries. The substance is often used as a substitute for hydrofluoric acid or hydrogen fluoride.
Ammonium bifluoride has a very wide range of applications. In particular, it is used for:
- Glass processing
- Aluminum anodizing
- As a substitute for more toxic and aggressive hydrofluoric acid, which improves environmental friendliness and reduces the cost of glass processing
- Cleaning metal surfaces
- Casting manganese (as a flux)
- Removing sand from oil wells
- Removing rust in boilers and pipes
- Washing oil wires
- Replacement of hydrofluoric acid with ammonium hydrofluoride is used not only in glass processing, but also in drilling wells
