  • Ammonium Fluoride Product Stewardship Summary February 2012
    Ammonium Fluoride Product Stewardship Summary February 2012 (NH4)F Chemical Name: Ammonium Fluoride Chemical Category (if applicable): Inorganic neutral halide Synonyms: Neutral ammonium fluoride; Commercial ammonium fluoride; and (NH4)F CAS Number: 12125-01-8 CAS Name: Ammonium fluoride EC (EINECS) Number: 235-185-9 Other identifier (Please specify): GPS0050 Honeywell manufactures ammonium fluoride that is used by industry in the manufacture of electronic materials. Exposure can occur at either an ammonium fluoride manufacturing facility or at other manufacturing, packaging or storage facilities that handle ammonium fluoride. Persons involved in maintenance, sampling and testing activities, or in the loading and unloading of packages containing ammonium fluoride are at risk of exposure, but worker exposure can be controlled with the use of proper general mechanical ventilation and personal protective equipment. Workplace exposure limits for fluoride ion have been established for use in worksite safety programs. When ammonium fluoride is a component of consumer products, users should follow manufacturer’s use and/or label instructions. Ammonium fluoride dusts released to the atmosphere and deposited in soil or surface water in the vicinity of production sites have negligible impact on the environment. Please see the MSDS for additional information. Ammonium fluoride is a nonflammable solid that is stable under normal conditions. Ammonium fluoride is corrosive to metals and glass. It can react with acids to liberate hydrogen fluoride and bases to liberate ammonia. When heated to decomposition, it will release toxic hydrogen fluoride gas and ammonia. Contact of ammonium fluoride with water or extended skin contact under moist conditions can produce hydrofluoric acid (HF), a very dangerous acid that can cause burns of the skin and eyes.
