Hydrofluoric Acid

Hydrofluoric acid is a highly corrosive chemical that contains fluorine and hydrogen. It can dissolve many materials, including glass and metals, and is used in industries like electronics and metal cleaning. Despite its useful properties, it is extremely dangerous; it can cause severe burns and tissue damage upon contact, and its fumes can be harmful if inhaled. Because of this, it requires careful handling with specialized safety equipment and procedures. Hydrofluoric acid's unique ability to penetrate tissues and bones makes it particularly dangerous, even in small amounts.
