Applications:
Glass etching: In the glass manufacturing industry, ammonium hydrogen fluoride is used to etch glassware and create frosted glass effects. It reacts with silicates in glass to create a rough surface, scattering light and creating a visually appealing matte finish.

Metal surface treatment: This compound plays a crucial role in the preparation and cleaning of metal surfaces. Used to remove rust and oxide layers on metals, providing a clean surface for further processing such as electroplating or welding.

Electronic manufacturing: In the electronics industry, ammonium hydrogen fluoride is used for etching and cleaning silicon wafers and other components, removing unwanted materials during semiconductor production, and is crucial for producing reliable and efficient electronic devices.

Ceramic industry: Ammonium hydrogen fluoride is also used in the ceramic industry, especially in etching and texturing of ceramic surfaces. It helps create an anti slip surface on ceramic tiles, enhancing their functionality and aesthetic quality.

Chemical analysis reagent: Ammonium hydrogen fluoride is used as a chemical analysis reagent in the production of frosted glass, as a glass etchant, disinfectant and preservative in the fermentation industry, and as a surface treatment agent for silicon steel plates.

Other uses: It also includes cleaning and scaling of ceramics, magnesium alloys, boiler feedwater systems, and steam generation systems, acidification treatment of oilfield sand and gravel, and as a catalyst component for alkylation and isomerization.
