Hydrofluoric Acid Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- HF Acid
- HF
- Aqueous Hydrogen Fluoride
Hydrofluoric acid supplier for industrial buyers in Malaysia who need aqueous HF for glass etching, metal treatment, electronics cleaning and related process work. Also known as HF acid, HF and hydrogen fluoride solution, it is ordered by concentration, grade and purity rather than as a single fixed stock cut.
Commercial supply is aqueous hydrofluoric acid only. Common industrial strengths include about 40%, 48% to 49% and 55% HF, with high-purity or electronic grades selected when impurity limits matter, and buyer-specified solutions used for defined process dosing.
Glass manufacturers use aqueous HF for etching and frosting. Metal finishers and electronics plants use it for pickling, stainless-steel treatment and semiconductor cleaning. Mining and fluorochemical processes may also specify HF as a process acid or intermediate.
Send the required concentration or grade, application, specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Hydrofluoric Acid grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial aqueous hydrofluoric acid | clear aqueous liquid solution | common commercial strengths include about 40%, 48% to 49% and 55% HF; confirm the required concentration | Glass etching and frosting, metal cleaning and pickling, stainless-steel surface treatment and general industrial process acid duties. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity and electronic grade hydrofluoric acid | clear aqueous liquid, high-purity grade | concentration and impurity limits confirmed against the required specification | Electronics and semiconductor cleaning, precision etching and other process steps that specify a tighter impurity profile than standard industrial grade. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Buyer-specified hydrofluoric acid solution | aqueous liquid solution | concentration confirmed against the required specification | Process dosing, controlled etching, mineral processing and laboratory work where a defined strength is preferred over a standard commercial cut. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Hydrofluoric Acid applications
Safety and handling
- Classification
- corrosive, toxic
- UN number
- 1790
- Hazard class
- 8
Store cool and well ventilated in closed, HF-compatible containers away from glass, silica-bearing materials, bases and incompatible metals. Hydrofluoric acid is highly corrosive and toxic; skin or eye contact is dangerous even at dilute strengths. Handle with full face and hand protection, use compatible equipment only, and follow the safety information for the quoted grade. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
Common questions about hydrofluoric acid
Is hydrofluoric acid the same as anhydrous hydrogen fluoride?
No. This page covers aqueous hydrofluoric acid, also called HF acid or hydrogen fluoride solution. Anhydrous hydrogen fluoride is a different product identity and is not treated as a grade of the aqueous solution.
Which hydrofluoric acid concentration should I request?
Common industrial aqueous strengths include about 40%, 48% to 49% and 55% HF, and buyers may also specify other process concentrations. State the exact strength, application and any impurity limits so the enquiry can be matched correctly.
What is the difference between industrial and high-purity HF acid?
Industrial aqueous grades serve glass etching, metal treatment and general process duties at the stated concentration. High-purity or electronic grades are chosen when impurity limits, assay or electronics process performance are specified more tightly.
Is hydrofluoric acid used for glass etching and metal treatment?
Yes. Aqueous hydrofluoric acid is widely specified for glass etching and frosting, metal cleaning and pickling, and stainless-steel surface treatment. Send the substrate, process step and required strength with the enquiry.
Are HF, HF acid and hydrogen fluoride solution the same product?
Yes for the aqueous product. HF and HF acid are common trade abbreviations, and hydrogen fluoride solution or aqueous hydrogen fluoride name the same liquid identity. Grade and concentration still need to be stated.
What details are needed for a hydrofluoric acid quotation?
Provide concentration or grade, quantity, delivery location, intended application and any required specification or documentation. Packing, availability and delivery timing are then confirmed with the quotation.
