Uses
The solution of fluoboric acid is produced by dissolving boric acid in aqueous hydrofluoric acid. The product scope is metal surface treatment. Fluoboric acid 50% is used as an electrolyte in galvanic cell oxygen sensor systems. The solution of fluoboric acid is widely used because the product is able to dissolve lead (II) oxide from the anode in the form of lead tetrafluoroborate precisely because it leaves the rest of the system unchanged. The product is also used as etching agent in the production of printed circuits and electronic components.
