one of my friends just texted me to ask questions about chlorine trifluoride, which means I got to link him at the ol' classic, Sand Won't Save You This Time

I work infrequently with low concentration (10% v/v) HF, which means that he thinks I am a lot more badass than I actually am. Bless.
@titania a much more pedestrian answer than i was expecting 😂
@Satsuma HF is honestly not that terrifying if handled correctly. it's shelf-stable and easy to store as long as you don't try to do something silly and put it in a glass container. it gets used a lot in semicon processing because it will reliably strip stuff for you and it's reusable.
I also work with cadmium tho, which I still find sort of low-key terrifying, so idk
@Satsuma HF is water-soluble!
