Hexafluorozirconic acid , H ₂ [ZrF ₆ ], is an inorganic acid consisting of the transition metal zirconium and the halogen fluorine . Their salts are the hexafluorozirconates.

use

The acid and its salts are used in metal surface technology.

properties

A 45% aqueous solution of hexafluorozirconic acid is an odorless, colorless liquid. It has a density of 1.51 g · cm ⁻³ . The pH value is <1 at 20 ° C.

safety instructions

The acid is toxic if it comes into contact with skin, swallowed or inhaled . It causes severe burns on the skin. It leaves serious damage to the eyes.

The decomposition produces hydrogen fluoride and zirconium oxides . Strong bases , acids and oxidizing agents cause violent reactions with the acid.
