Ammonium fluoride

Ammonium fluoride (CAS 12125-01-8), also referenced industrially as NH4F, is an inorganic fluoride salt used as a buffering agent, surface treatment chemical, and flame retardant.

Where is Ammonium fluoride used?

• Electronics: semiconductor wet etching and wafer cleaning formulations
• Textile and leather: mordant and surface conditioner for dye uptake and substrate uniformity
• Paper: flame retardant additive that reduces combustibility
• Building and construction: masonry treatments and cement formulations
• It provides controlled fluoride release for precise pH management or selective etching action.

Commercial specifications

• Technical and industrial grades, purity typically 98% upward for solid material
• Bulk quantities and smaller packaging options for laboratory and specialty formulation use
