Calcium Fluoride 97% Extrapure 500gr

SKU : O-5254.0500
CAS : 7789-75-5
Formula : CaF2
Grade : Extrapure

Applications :

1. Optical Applications:
  • Lenses and Windows:

    Calcium fluoride’s low refractive index and transparency across a broad spectrum, from UV to IR, make it ideal for manufacturing lenses and windows in telescopes, microscopes, and laser systems. 

  • UV Optics:

    Its excellent transmission in the UV range is particularly valuable for UV laser optics, spectrometers, and other UV-based technologies. 

  • Scintillators:

    Calcium fluoride doped with Europium can be used as a gamma-ray scintillator. 

2. Chemical Applications:
  • Hydrogen Fluoride Production:

    Calcium fluoride is a primary source for producing hydrogen fluoride, which is essential for various chemical processes. 

  • Fluxing Agent:

    It acts as a flux in aluminum and steelmaking, helping to lower the melting point and improve the flow of molten metal. 

  • Glass and Ceramics:

    Calcium fluoride is used in the production of certain types of glass and ceramics, influencing their properties and characteristics. 

  • Etching:

    In the chemical industry, calcium fluoride is also used in glass etching and other applications. 

3. Other Applications:
  • Dental Products: Calcium fluoride is used in some dental products like toothpaste and mouthwash for its anti-cariogenic properties. 
  • Welding: It’s used as a flux in welding electrodes and welding rods. 
  • Brake Linings: It can be found as an additive in high-performance brake pads. 
  • Gemstone: While not as valuable as other gemstones, fluorite (calcium fluoride) is sometimes used as a gemstone. 
  • Fertilizers: Calcium fluoride can be used in some calcium and nitrogenous fertilizers.

Calcium fluoride is the inorganic compound of the elements calcium and fluorine with the formula CaF2. It is a white solid that is practically insoluble in water. It occurs as the mineral fluorite (also called fluorspar), which is often deeply coloured owing to impurities and it is used in various applications, including optical components, thermal imaging systems, and as a source of fluorine. 
Calcium fluoride (CaF₂) has diverse applications across multiple industries due to its unique properties. It’s commonly used in the production of optical components like lenses and windows, particularly for ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) applications, due to its transparency in those ranges. It’s also a key ingredient in the production of hydrogen fluoride, which is used in various chemical processes, including glass etching and the creation of other fluorides. Furthermore, calcium fluoride is used as a flux in aluminum and steelmaking, as well as in the manufacturing of certain glasses and ceramics.
