Is there any alternative to HydroFluoric Acid?

Hi we are manufacturer of textile chemicals. We use HF 50% solution in the manufacturing of stripper for the stripping of rotary printing screens. We are looking for any alternative to Hydrofluoric acid. Due to lack of availability in local markets we need to use some other substance/acid. We at the moment are unaware of the alternate chemical. If you can guide us or lead us in the finding of this alternative substance we would be highly obliged.

Thank you,
