Description

Fluorine is a highly reactive, pale yellow diatomic gas and the most electronegative of all elements. As a powerful oxidizing agent, it is a critical feedstock in the synthesis of a vast array of valuable fluorinated compounds. This essential industrial chemical is primarily utilized in the production of fluoropolymers, refrigerants, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Fluorine CAS NO 7782-41-4 is supplied in high-purity grades to meet the stringent demands of advanced manufacturing and research sectors.

Application

• Fluoropolymer Production: Key monomer for synthesizing PTFE (Teflon®), PVDF, and FEP, providing non-stick, chemically resistant, and high-temperature performance properties.
• Refrigerants and Propellants: Manufacture of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and other fluorinated gases used in cooling systems and aerosol applications.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Production of advanced herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides where fluorine incorporation enhances biological activity and stability.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Essential for creating fluorinated drug molecules, improving metabolic stability, bioavailability, and binding affinity.
• Electronics Industry: Used in plasma etching and cleaning of silicon wafers and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) chambers in semiconductor fabrication.
• Nuclear Fuel Processing: Conversion of uranium into uranium hexafluoride (UF6) for isotopic enrichment in the nuclear fuel cycle.
• Specialty Chemicals: Synthesis of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) for electrical insulation and perfluorinated surfactants.

Quality Control

Our Fluorine is produced and handled under stringent protocols to ensure high purity and consistency. Quality is verified through advanced analytical techniques including gas chromatography (GC) and infrared spectroscopy (IR). We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles. Our quality management system adheres to ISO 9001 standards, ensuring reliable supply for critical industrial and research applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed, specially passivated container, protected from light and incompatible materials. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area dedicated for oxidizers and hazardous gases. Cylinders must be secured upright. Due to its highly reactive and gaseous nature, storage areas must be free from organic materials, moisture, and reducing agents. Maintain at room temperature (15-25°C) away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Keep container valve closed when not in use.
