Description

Aluminium Fluoride Hydrate is an inorganic salt primarily used as a key intermediate and additive in industrial chemical synthesis. Its value lies in providing a controlled source of fluoride and aluminium ions for specialized manufacturing processes. This compound is essential for producers in the ceramics, metallurgy, and specialty chemical industries seeking to modify material properties or catalyze specific reactions.

Application

• As a precursor in the synthesis of advanced fluoride glasses and optical materials.
• Used in the production of specialty ceramics and abrasives to enhance thermal and chemical resistance.
• Acts as a fluxing agent in metallurgical processes, particularly in aluminum refining.
• Employed as a catalyst or co-catalyst in specific organic fluorination reactions.
• Serves as a raw material for manufacturing other aluminium and fluoride-based chemicals.
• Potential use in the formulation of specialized electrolytes for energy storage applications.

Quality Control

Our Aluminium Fluoride Hydrate is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent composition, purity, and physical properties. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profiles, and loss on drying are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture and caking.
