Description
A colorless, fuming liquid that is available as an aqueous solution. In water, SiF4 and HF combine to form fluosilicic acid. It is a strong acid that will attack Glass and stoneware. Dilute solutions (1-2%) are used for sterilizing bottles, disinfecting copper and brass vessels, as well as for killing fungus on wood, masonry, and Plaster. Fluosilicic acid is also used for fluoridating water, cleaning Leather, and for hardening Cement, and Lime.
Synonyms and Related Terms
fluorosilicic acid; hydrogen hexafluorosilicate; hexafluosilicic acid; hydrosilicofluoric acid; hydrofluosilicic acid; silicofluoric acid;
Hazards and Safety
Contact, inhalation or ingestion will cause severe corrosion of skin and mucous membranes. Avoid all contact. Non combustible.
