Sodium bifluoride (NaHF₂) is an inorganic ceramic compound containing sodium, hydrogen, and fluoride ions. It is primarily used in industrial chemical processing, metal surface treatment, and specialized fluorine chemistry applications where controlled fluoride delivery is required. NaHF₂ is valued in pickling operations, glass etching, and uranium enrichment processes because it provides a stable, solid-state source of fluoride ion that can be precisely metered, making it preferable to corrosive liquid hydrofluoric acid in certain handling scenarios.
