Fluorine (Fluorspar)

Fluorine, commonly known as fluorspar, is a mineral with the chemical formula CaF₂ and is considered an essential raw material in a wide range of industries. Thanks to its unique physical and chemical characteristics — including a low melting point, high thermal stability, and chemical resistance — fluorspar plays a crucial role in steelmaking, cement production, glass manufacturing, and the chemical sector. By lowering the melting point and increasing slag fluidity, it enhances both the quality and efficiency of metallurgical processes.

Key Features

• Reduces melting point and improves slag fluidity in steelmaking operations
• Excellent thermal resistance and chemical stability
• High transparency, ideal for glass and optical applications
• Boosts efficiency and performance in metallurgical processes
• Available in multiple grades and purities to suit diverse industrial needs

Applications

• Acts as a flux in steelmaking, foundries, and casting industries
• Improves clinker formation and quality in cement production
• Used in glass and ceramic manufacturing to enhance brightness and clarity
• Key raw material for producing hydrofluoric acid in the chemical industry
