Hydrofluoric acid (HF) differs from other acids because it readily penetrates the skin and dissociates into fluoride ions, causing destruction of deep tissue layers, including bone. Pain associated with skin exposure to HF may not occur for 1-24 hours. Unless you can rapidly neutralize the HF and bind the fluoride ions, tissue destruction may ...

Safer Options to Hydrofluoric Acid (HF) in Industrial Cleaning
Hydrofluoric acid is a highly reactive acid with many hazards. Not only is HF extremely corrosive, it is also a contact poison making it extremely dangerous to handle, use and apply. Unlike other acids that cause immediate superficial burns, HF rapidly penetrates deep into the skin damaging tissues, bones and the nervous system.
Topical chemical burns: Initial evaluation and management
As an example, hydrofluoric acid burns cause intense pain and tissue destruction, as well as electrolyte abnormalities that may precipitate cardiac arrest. Calcium salts are the mainstay of treatment of hydrofluoric acid burns; the dose and route depend upon the clinical situation. (See ''Hydrofluoric (HF) acid'' below.) PATIENT WITH EYE …
