Aluminum Fluoride Basic Information

Aluminum Fluoride Structure

Application

[Use 1]
Used as a flux for non-ferrous metals, it can be used to make fluoride from other aluminum.
[Use 2]
Used as an electrolytic bath component in the production of aluminum to lower the melting point and increase the conductivity of the electrolyte.
A suppressant for fermentation when used to produce alcohol.
Used as a flux for outer glaze and enamel enamel of ceramics.
Used in welding fluids in metal welding.
Used to make optical lenses.
It is used as a catalyst for organic synthesis and as a raw material for synthesizing cryolite.
