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.
