FAQs

What does “49% MB Grade” mean for this hydrofluoric acid?

“49% MB Grade” refers to a high-purity, industrial-grade hydrofluoric acid solution containing 49% HF by weight. MB Grade is suitable for manufacturing, etching, pickling, and research environments. It is not approved for pharmaceutical, medical device, or disinfectant use.

What is this product commonly used for?

This hydrofluoric acid is used for metal pickling, glass and silicon etching, semiconductor processing, and chemical derivative production. Its high reactivity with oxides and silica makes it valuable in controlled industrial and laboratory workflows.

Are there any restricted uses?

Yes. This product is not intended for drug manufacturing, medical device production, disinfectant formulation, or any consumer applications. It is designed strictly for professional industrial and laboratory use.

What safety precautions are required when handling hydrofluoric acid?

HF is extremely hazardous. Proper PPE (acid-resistant gloves, face shield, protective clothing), excellent ventilation, and HF-compatible containers are mandatory. HF can penetrate skin and cause severe tissue and systemic damage. Emergency calcium treatments and immediate medical support must be available.

How should this product be stored?

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in HF-compatible containers (no glass or silica-containing materials). Keep away from metals, bases, moisture, and heat sources. Ensure all containers remain sealed and properly labeled.
