FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of Ammonium Bifluoride 98% Extra Pure?

When stored in a cool, dry place in its original sealed packaging, the product retains its purity and efficacy for up to 2 years from the date of manufacture.

2. Is this grade compatible with standard lab glassware?

Yes, but prolonged exposure may etch or corrode glass. Use polypropylene or PTFE containers for long-term storage or reactions involving this compound.

3. Are there safer alternatives for glass etching applications?

Hydrofluoric acid (HF) is a common alternative, but it requires stricter handling due to higher toxicity. Ammonium Bifluoride offers a relatively safer option with similar effectiveness.

4. How should I dispose of unused Ammonium Bifluoride?

Neutralize with calcium hydroxide or lime slurry before disposal, following local hazardous waste regulations. Avoid direct discharge into drains or environment.

5. Can this product be used for cleaning semiconductor wafers?

Yes, its ability to dissolve silicon dioxide makes it effective for semiconductor cleaning, though dilution and rinsing protocols must be followed to prevent residue.
