Applications & Benefits
Metallurgical Grade
Used primarily in steelmaking and iron foundries as a flux to lower the melting temperature and reduce the viscosity of slag.
Chemical Industry
The primary precursor for Hydrofluoric acid (HF), the foundation for all fluorine-bearing chemicals and refrigerants.
Aluminum Production
Crucial component in the electrolytic process for producing aluminum metal from alumina.
Optical & Glass Grade
Used in high-end lenses and decorative glass for its low refractive index and exceptional clarity.
