Used in industrial cleaning agents and metal surface treatment processes due to its ability to remove oxides and contaminants. The anionic components enhance solubility and stability in aqueous solutions, making it effective in water treatment systems for controlling microbial growth and preventing scale formation. Commonly applied in cooling tower treatments and boiler water systems to manage corrosion and maintain efficiency. Also utilized in certain types of etching solutions in the electronics industry for precision cleaning of semiconductor surfaces. Its combination of fluorine and chlorine provides strong disinfecting properties, suitable for use in sanitation and wastewater treatment. Nitrate and nitrite components contribute to inhibition of rust and oxidation in closed-loop systems. Sulfate presence improves conductivity in electrochemical applications.
