Question:
What is the use of hydrogen fluoride?


Replies:
Hydrogen fluoride has many industrial uses -- far too many to list here. It is an intermediate in products ranging from "DuPont's Teflon (TM)", "Freons", glass etching to name just a few. If you do a "Google" search on the term: "uses hydrogen fluoride" you can find a wealth of info that you can sort, depending upon your requirements.
