• Difluorophosphoric Acid CAS 13779-41-4

Difluorophosphoric Acid CAS 13779-41-4

Difluorophosphoric acid is an inorganic phosphorus oxyacid characterized by the presence of two fluorine atoms bonded to a phosphoryl center. This defined molecular composition places it within the class of specialty inorganic acids supplied through professional chemical supply chains. Difluorophosphoric Acid (CAS 13779-41-4) is handled as a discrete chemical substance in regulated industrial and research environments, where accurate identification, documentation, and compliance are essential.

The material is supplied with
standardized specifications and complete technical documentation, including MSDS, TDS, and COA, supporting traceability and regulatory conformity.

Application Areas

Chemical synthesis: used as a fluorinating agent in organic synthesis reactions, such as the preparation of fluorinated compounds or specific catalytic processes.
Laboratory research: used for detecting fluoride ions in analytical chemistry or preparing special reagents

Storage conditions

Environmental requirements: Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated specialized chemical warehouse, away from heat and fire sources.
Container selection: Use corrosion-resistant glass or PTFE material containers to avoid contact with metal.
Isolation storage: It is strictly prohibited to mix with acids, oxidants, and organic substances to prevent violent reactions

Safety precautions

Personal protection:
Wear chemical protective clothing, acid resistant gloves, goggles, and a full face respirator during operation.
The workplace should be equipped with eye wash stations and emergency shower devices.
Leakage handling:
Cover small-scale leaks with inert adsorbent materials (such as sand) and collect them. Do not rinse directly with water.
When a large amount of leakage occurs, emergency plans should be activated, personnel should be evacuated, and professional hazardous waste disposal agencies should be contacted.
Emergency measures: Immediately transfer to fresh air after inhalation or contact, rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes if skin is contaminated

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

  • Q:

    Is difluorophosphoric acid under this CAS number supplied as a formulation or mixture?

    A: No. The CAS number defines difluorophosphoric acid as a distinct chemical substance; formulations or solutions are not specified by this CAS entry.
