Safety Information
- Chemical Stability
- Stable under normal conditions
- Corrosivity
- Corrosive to metals
- Ignition Temperature
- Not applicable
- Incompatible Materials
- Contact with alkalies and some oxides cause strong violent exothermic reactions
- Contact with metals will yield hydrogen gas, a fire and explosive reactive hazard
- Glass and silicate-containing materials are attacked
- HF contact with carbonates, sulfides and cyanides yield toxic gases such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen cyanide
- HF contact with glass, concrete and other silicon bearing
- On dilution or dissolving in water, considerable heating always occurs
- Pressure buildup from this process has been known to rupture glass containers
- When diluting, add acids to water, never the other way around
- Thermal Decomposition
- Fire or intense heat may cause violent rupture of packages.
