HYDROFLUORIC ACID (HF)
Hydrofluoric acid (HF) is a highly corrosive and toxic acid composed of hydrogen and fluorine. Unlike other strong acids, it can penetrate deep into tissues and cause severe chemical burns. It is commonly used in industrial applications such as glass etching, metal cleaning, and semiconductor manufacturing. Due to its ability to react with calcium in the body, exposure can be extremely dangerous and potentially fatal if not treated immediately. Proper protective equipment is essential when handling hydrofluoric acid.
