Product Overview
Ammonium fluoride (NH₄F) in ACS grade (98.0% minimum purity) is a high-quality crystalline powder designed for demanding laboratory applications. This reagent-grade compound ensures low impurity levels, making it suitable for analytical procedures, fluoridation processes, and synthesis reactions where precision is critical. Its high solubility in water (45.3 g/100 mL at 20°C) allows for easy preparation of solutions, while its stable chemical properties ensure consistent performance in controlled environments. The ACS certification guarantees adherence to strict purity standards, minimizing interference in sensitive experiments. Packaged in airtight containers to prevent moisture absorption, this ammonium fluoride maintains its integrity during storage and handling. The fine crystalline structure enables accurate weighing and dissolution, reducing preparation time for lab protocols. Whether used as a fluorinating agent or in quantitative analysis, this product delivers reliable results with batch-to-batch consistency.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of ACS grade ammonium fluoride when stored properly?
When kept in a tightly sealed container away from moisture and light, ACS grade ammonium fluoride maintains its specified purity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Can this ammonium fluoride be used for preparing buffered oxide etch solutions?
Yes, this ACS grade product is suitable for preparing buffered oxide etch (BOE) solutions due to its high purity and consistent fluoride ion content.
3. What precautions should be taken when handling ammonium fluoride powder?
Always wear appropriate PPE including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Work in a well-ventilated area or fume hood, as ammonium fluoride releases toxic fumes when exposed to acids.
4. How does the purity of this product compare to technical grade ammonium fluoride?
This ACS grade product has a minimum purity of 98.0%, significantly higher than technical grade (typically 90-95%), with stricter controls on trace metal impurities and insoluble matter.
5. What is the typical particle size range for this crystalline ammonium fluoride?
The powder consists of fine crystals typically ranging between 100-500 microns, allowing for rapid dissolution and homogeneous mixing in solutions.
