FAQs
1. What is the solubility of Ammonium fluoride LR in water?
Ammonium fluoride LR is highly soluble in water, typically dissolving completely at room temperature to form a clear solution.
2. Is this reagent compatible with standard glassware?
While it can be used with glassware, prolonged exposure may cause etching, so it’s recommended to use plastic or corrosion-resistant containers for storage.
3. Are there any safer alternatives for etching applications?
For less aggressive etching, sodium bifluoride or dilute hydrofluoric acid solutions may be considered, though they have different reactivity profiles.
4. How should Ammonium fluoride LR be stored?
Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible substances like strong acids and oxidizing agents.
5. What is the typical shelf life of this reagent?
When stored properly in its original packaging, Ammonium fluoride LR maintains its quality for approximately 2-3 years from the date of manufacture.
