Hydrofluoric Acid 70% Solution

(Aqueous HF, 70% HF) 70% HF (Aqueous HF) is used in a variety of applications including stainless steel and titanium pickling, glass etching/frosting, quartz purification, feedstock for chemical derivatives, chemical milling, and rare metal processing.

Honeywell manufactures and ships 70% HF from its Geismar, Louisiana and Amherstburg, Ontario production facilities. Aqueous HF is delivered in bulk quantities via Honeywell trucks and custom designed trailers. Honeywell operates the largest Aqueous HF transportation fleet in North America with over 20 trailers in service. Each truck and trailer "unit" is equipped with satellite tracking capability, emergency shutdown devices, and other state-of-the-art features. The satellite tracking system can pinpoint the unit’s location at all times and allows for constant two-way communication. Two man driver teams, regardless of travel distance, operate each delivery unit. All our drivers are Honeywell professionals, not "common carriers". Every driver is required to complete extensive training in the safe handling and delivery of aqueous HF before they go "on the road".

70% HF is a highly hazardous, fuming, corrosive acid that demands rigorous safety considerations in its use and handling. Both liquid and vapor can cause severe burns to all parts of the body. Specialized medical treatment is required for any exposure to HF.
