Hydrogen fluoride

Description

Hydrogen fluoride is a chemical compound with the formula HF. It is the principal industrial source of fluorine, often in the aqueous form as hydrofluoric acid, and thus is the precursor to many important compounds including pharmaceuticals and polymers (e.g. Teflon). HF is widely used in the petrochemical industry and a component of many superacids. HF boils just below room temperature whereas the other hydrogen halides condense at much lower temperatures. Unlike the other hydrogen halides, HF is lighter than air and it is particularly penetrating, which can damage the lungs. Aqueous solutions of HF, called hydrofluoric acid, are strongly corrosive.
