Hydrofluoric Acid
Ensure a secure and seamless supply chain from extraction to market.
As the world leader in hydrofluoric acid (HF) production and delivery, our customers know we understand the rigorous requirements for producing and handling HF with the quality and safety they demand. Honeywell offers the most comprehensive technical support in the industry to help ensure our HF is delivered safely and reliably each day. From our biennial HF Roundtable to our comprehensive in person or online training, Honeywell is committed to helping you use HF safely in your facility.
Depend on Honeywell to deliver a quality hydrofluoric acid (HF) product. As the world’s largest producer and consumer of HF and the leader in safe and reliable HF transportation, we’re committed to delivering a consistent product to support your operations. We take our safety responsibility very seriously – no other supplier can match the experience and support we provide throughout every phase of production and delivery, for every HF grade we offer. All Honeywell HF is produced at our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Geismar, LA.
Honeywell manufactures HF in three grades:
Anhydrous HF (AHF)
AHF is used to produce environmentally preferred fluorocarbon products, fluoropolymers, and chemical derivatives. It is a clear, colorless, corrosive fuming liquid with a sharp, pungent odor. AHF is 100% soluble in water and is not flammable. It forms a dense white vapor clouds if released. AHF is highly hazardous and needs to be handled and used with rigorous safety precautions. It can cause severe burns to all parts of the body in liquid and vapor forms. Specialized medical treatment is required for all exposures to HF acid.Aqueous HF — 70% Solution
Our 70% HF solution is an aqueous grade that is a clear, colorless, corrosive fuming liquid with a sharp, stinging odor. It is 100% soluble in water and is not flammable. 70% HF is highly hazardous and needs to be handled and used with rigorous safety precautions. It can cause severe burns to all parts of the body in liquid and vapor forms. Specialized medical treatment is required for any exposure to 70% HF.Aqueous HF — 49% Solution
Our 49% HF is a clear, colorless, corrosive fuming liquid with a sharp, stinging odor. It is non-fuming, 100% soluble in water and is not flammable. The 49% solution is highly hazardous and needs to be handled and used with rigorous safety precautions. Liquid exposure can cause severe burns to all parts of the body. Specialized medical treatment is required for any exposure to 49% HF.
Frequently employed in the manufacturing of:
Fluorochemicals
Most HF is used to produce fluorinated carbon compounds. These materials are used in refrigerants, blowing agents and solvents, as well as raw materials for the plastics and petrochemical industries.
Metal Processing
Aqueous HF grades are used in applications including stainless steel and titanium pickling, glass etching/frosting, quartz purification, chemical milling, and rare metal processing. They are also used as a feedstock in the production of chemical derivatives.
