Product Description of Hexafluorosilicic acid CAS#16961-83-4

Hexafluorosilicic acid is an inorganic acid with broad industrial applications. It is mainly used in water fluoridation to reduce dental caries incidence. It serves as a key raw material for manufacturing aluminum fluoride, cryolite and various hexafluorosilicate salts, and is also applied in the production of silicon and silicon dioxide. It acts as an electrolyte in the Betts electrolytic process for lead refining. In organic synthesis, it is used as a special reagent for the selective cleavage of Si–O bonds in silyl ethers.

Product Application of Hexafluorosilicic acid CAS#16961-83-4

Hexafluorosilicic acid is widely used as a fluoride source and can be processed into various high-value hexafluorosilicate salts. It acts as an electrolyte in the Betts electrolytic process for lead refining. In organic chemistry, it serves as a key reagent for cleaving Si–O bonds in silyl ethers. Furthermore, it is applied as a wood preservative and for surface modification of calcium carbonate.
