Hydrogen Fluoride Panel

The Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) Panel addresses industry issues relating to the use, manufacture, transportation, emergency response, health effects, environmental impacts and governmental regulation of Anhydrous Hydrogen Fluoride and Hydrofluoric Acid (collectively referred to as HF).

The HF Panel operates in accordance with the Guidelines and applicable by-laws, policies and procedures of the American Chemistry Council, as amended from time to time.

Hydrogen Fluoride, also known as hydrofluoric acid (HF), is an inorganic acid mainly used for producing fluorine-containing materials such as refrigerants, pharmaceutical intermediates and fluoropolymers. Other uses include metals manufacturing, glass etching and polishing, production of gasoline, stainless steel pickling, semi-conductor preparation and various applications in the chemical and specialty metal production industries.

2008 Hydrogen Fluoride Panel Safety Seminar

Hosted by the Hydrogen Fluoride Industry Practices Institute and the American Chemistry Council’s Hydrogen Fluoride Panel

November 17-18, 2008

Hilton Head, South Carolina

The member companies of the Hydrogen Fluoride Industry Practices Institute and the Hydrogen Fluoride Panel recognize the significant safety considerations surrounding the use of hydrogen fluoride. The purpose of the Hydrogen Fluoride Safety Seminar is to promote the overall philosophy of safety through education and sharing of experiences, and to focus on specific topics of concern to companies involved with hydrogen fluoride.

As in years past, this seminar will be open to any representative of a company that manufacturers, processes, uses, distributes, or transports any form or concentration of anhydrous or aqueous hydrogen fluoride.
