Full Description
Ammonium Bifluoride (CAS 1341-49-7) is an inorganic fluoride salt with molecular formula F2H5N that functions primarily as a pH adjustment agent in industrial chemical processes. This corrosive compound finds application across industrial manufacturing, mining, and oil & gas operations where precise pH control is required. The material exhibits a density of 1.5 g/cm³ at 68°F and decomposes at 446°F, requiring careful handling due to its corrosive and toxic properties.
