AB  - Hydrofluoric  acid  (HF)  is  a  colorless,  corrosive  liquid  available  in  both  commercial  (>  20%)  and  household  (<  20%,  typically  6%-12%)  formulations.  Commercially,  HF  is  used  in  glass  etching,  electroplating,  and  semiconductor  manufacturing.  Consumer  products  are  typically  marketed  as  rust  removers  and  chrome  cleaners.  Although  toxic  via  the  dermal,  ocular,  pulmonary,  and  GI  routes,  most  patients  present  after  dermal  exposure,  typically  to  the  hands  and  fingers.  The  severity  of  local  injury  depends  on  the  HF  concentration  and  the  extent  of  exposure.
