Industrial Applications & Information
Applications in Oil & Gas Industry
- Well Stimulation (Acidizing): A primary component in "mud acid" (HF acid) formulations to dissolve silicate-based materials like sand and clay in the wellbore, significantly improving formation permeability.
- Rust & Scale Removal: Effectively cleans oilfield equipment, pipelines, and tanks by dissolving rust (iron oxides) and mineral scale.
- Glass Etching: Used for etching gauge and sight glasses on equipment for calibration marks.
Applications in Marine Industry
- Aluminum Treatment & Brightening: Cleans and etches aluminum surfaces on ships and marine structures, preparing them for painting, anodizing, or welding.
- Rust Stain Removal: A powerful agent for removing rust stains from hulls, decks, and superstructures.
- Industrial Cleaning: Component in heavy-duty cleaners for descaling and cleaning of boilers, heat exchangers, and cooling systems.
Critical Safety Information
- Hazard: Highly corrosive and toxic. Causes severe skin burns, eye damage, and is harmful if inhaled or swallowed. Reacts with acids, alkalis, and glass.
- Handling: Must be handled only by trained personnel in well-ventilated areas using appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including acid-resistant gloves, chemical splash goggles, face shields, and respiratory protection.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in a corrosion-resistant container. Keep separate from incompatible materials.
