It is any inorganic flux with an acid base. Acid fluxes react aggressively with most metals and can be corrosive.

This flux normally is used in soldering applications

Acid flux types (not used in electronics) may contain zinc chloride or ammonium chloride, both of which are harmful to humans. Therefore, flux must be handled with gloves and goggles, and used with adequate ventilation.
