Some uses and sources of hydrofluoric acid (also known as HF) include:
Aluminium cleaner and brightener
Oil refineries (alkylation process)
Making fluorine compounds including fluorocarbons and plastics
Cleaning iron and steel castings
Laboratory reagent
Etching glass
Cleaning mineral sands
Stain removal (commercial laundries)
By-product of aluminium production
By-product of phosphate fertiliser production

Hydrofluoric acid is also transported for these purposes, so may be present on trucks, trains, ships or in courier vehicles. A Poisons Permit from the Department of Health is required for purchase of solutions containing greater than 1 per cent hydrofluoric acid.
