Fluorite (fluorspar): Used in production of hydrofluoric acid, which is used in the electroplating, stainless steel, refrigerant, and plastics industries, in production of aluminum fluoride, which is used in aluminum smelting, as a flux in ceramics and glass, in steel furnaces, and in emery wheels, optics, and welding rods.
Fluorspar Powder (Acid Grade) CaF2 90-98%
Fluorspar (CaF2) is the mineral form of calcium fluoride, also called fluorite. Pure fluorite is transparent, both in visible and ultraviolet light, but impurities usually make it a colorful mineral and the stone has ornamental and lapidary uses. Industrially, fluorite is used as a flux for smelting, and in the production of certain glasses and enamels.
Chemical Industry:
More than one half of the world fluorite output is used to refine HF, which is regarded as the starting point of fluorine chemical industry chain. Fluorine chemical industry is one of the necessary materials for high-tech industry. Fluorite, as the most economic and the key to refine mineral raw materials, at present more than half of the world fluorite production is used to make HF.
Fluorite is used as flux to smelt steel and nonferrous metal, attributing to its feature of lowering the melting point of refractory minerals.
Building materials industry:
Fluorite is used as an additive during smelting when producing Glass, Ceramic and Cement.
Other application:
Fluorite is kind of optical property with low refractive index and good light-admitting quality of infrared and ultraviolet rays in optical industry. Fluorite also could be used to make Liar of aplanatism optical lens, spectrograph prism and window material of infrared ray, also made to jointing material of grinding wheel. Fluorite comes in a wide range of colors, processed fluorite could be regarded as art crafts.
