[0007] The present application provides a hydrofluoric acid acid etching agent and a preparation method thereof, which solves the problems of easy oxidation, complex raw materials, complicated preparation process, and low stability of the acid etching agent in the related art.

[0008] The technical solution of the present application is as follows:

[0015] The application also includes a preparation method of a hydrofluoric acid etching agent, comprising the following steps:

[0016] S1, mixing carrageenan and part of the water uniformly to obtain a carrageenan solution;

[0017] S2, mixing hydrofluoric acid, a humectant, chromium sesquioxide, and the remaining water uniformly to obtain a mixture;

[0018] S3, adding the carrageenan solution to the mixture to obtain a hydrofluoric acid etching agent.

[0019] The preparation method of the hydrofluoric acid etching agent is simple and can be completed in three steps without technical difficulty. The product can be prepared by stirring with a stirrer, which can avoid unnecessary waste caused by too complex operation steps. Moreover, the equipment used is simple and convenient, and the product can be prepared by a planetary stirrer according to the stirring time and stirring speed.

[0023] The working principle and beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:

[0024] 1. The pigment in the present application is chromium sesquioxide, which has multiple effects on the product. Chromium sesquioxide has a distinct color, which can better show whether the product has residues during use, so that residues can be removed in time to avoid damage to the teeth. Moreover, chromium sesquioxide plays a catalytic role in the raw material mixing reaction process, making the reaction more rapid and complete. On the other hand, chromium sesquioxide has a synergistic effect with carrageenan, which makes the hydrogen fluoride etchant prepared by the present application have good stability and oxidation resistance during the reaction process, avoiding oxidation during the process, so that the oxidation rate of the hydrogen fluoride etchant is reduced during storage.

[0025] 2. The carrageenan and glycerol in the present application have a synergistic effect, which can improve the elasticity and water retention of the hydrogen fluoride etchant. The product can maintain its gel strength and moisture under long-term storage. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
