Ammonium bifluoride is acidic and can corrode many metals. It
is not explosive or flammable. As a result of reaction with water and
perspiration, ammonium bifluoride combines to form hydrofluoric acid.
Additionally, ammonium bifluoride, on exposure to water, strong base, high
temperatures or strong acids can cause decomposition which leads to liberation
of compounds such as ammonia, hydrogen fluoride and nitrogen oxide gases.
There is a growing demand for ammonium bifluoride in the market
as it is increasingly replacing hydrofluoric acid due to its aggressive nature
and reactions. Ammonium bifluoride is used in industrial applications and other
processes where workplace hazards can occur. Ammonium bifluoride is used across
several applications as etching and cleaning agent in the glass industry. It is
widely used for cleaning metals before they are processed.
Further, it is used as an oil well acidifier or cleaning of
ceramics and bricks. Increasing use in the chemical industry for pH adjustment
of industrial textile processing and laundries have augmented the demand for
ABF industry. ABF is available as a liquid solution in water or in a solid
state.
Use of ammonium bifluoride in the oil extraction method has
been applied successfully for acidizing bottom-hole. Improved filtration
characteristics and its efficiency to restore, loosen and dissolve deposits
have fueled demand for this material across various industries, particularly
petroleum industry. Its ability to increase the permeability of layer zones and
debit wells has resulted in growing demand for the products. Technical
hydrofluoric acid has been increasingly replaced by ammonium bifluoride as
cooking acidic mixture the replacement reduces costs substantially to 10-15% of
the overall costs.

Additionally, the efficiency of ammonium bifluoride is much
higher that its counter parts, for instance, if the acid was used in the
working mixture of hydrofluoric acid it would take 1.55 times more than a dry
ammonium bifluoride. The product has widespread application in the chemical
industry. Other uses of Ammonium bifluoride include use in extraction of rare
elements and glass curving in addition to its use as antiseptics. Use of
ammonium bromide as brightening agent of aluminium, protective agent of wood
and rust removal agent has gained prominence in the textile industry.
It is used in the biotech sector and various studies in
research and development. Commonly known as fungicidal mastic, it has the ability
to provide Douglas-fir piles with long-term protection from deterioration.
There is growing demand for ammonium bifluoride in the oil and petroleum
industry owing to its broad portfolio in making magnesium and magnesium alloy
and acid treat mealing of oil field and. Frosting of the glass surfaces of
perfume bottles, building glass and light bulbs in addition to use in numerous
chemical processes are other uses of the product. Ammonium bifluoride is
poisonous in nature. In an attempt to avoid inappropriate usage, Indian
standards have pre tested and introduced different standards such as IS 251 :
1982, IS 5762 : 1970, IS 4542 : 1968 and IS 4161 : 1967 amongst others The
packaging of this substance is standardized for extreme care and appropriate
measure to ensure that product is not inhaled as dust. The market can expect a
downturn owing to its harmful health effects such as the contact with skin.
Introduction of standards and precautionary methods to avoid by wearing
necessary protective equipment including, apron, goggles and pvc hand gloves
are encouraged by the government.
Increase in the prices of ammonium bifluoride is expected in
in Europe by EUR 150 per metric ton in LANXESS Deutschland GmbH due to the
drastic increase in the costs being offered for the primary raw material the
intermediate hydrofluoric acid, ammonia and fluorspar. The Ammonium bifluoride
market is highly fragmented with the key markets participants including
CHANGSHU XINHUA, DDF(MINERSA), DONGYUE, FLUORIDE, FUBAO GROUP, Fluoro Chemicals,
