Hydrofluoric acid (HF) is a highly corrosive inorganic acid with various industrial applications. It is commonly used in metal cleaning, glass etching, and as a catalyst in organic synthesis. HF is also utilized in the semiconductor industry for silicon wafer processing. However, its extreme toxicity and ability to penetrate tissues make it extremely hazardous, requiring careful handling and protective measures during use.
