Factory Price High purity 99% Aluminum Fluoride Powder CAS 17949 86 9

Aluminium fluoride is an important additive for the production of aluminium by electrolysis. Together with cryolite, it lowers the melting point to below 1000 °C and increases the conductivity of the solution. It is into this molten salt that aluminium oxide is dissolved and then electrolyzed to give bulk Al metal.Together with zirconium fluoride, aluminium fluoride is an ingredient for the production of fluoroaluminate glasses.It is also used to inhibit fermentation.Like magnesium fluoride it used as a low-index optical thin film, particularly when far UV transparency is required. Its

deposition by physical vapor deposition, particularly by evaporation, is favorable.
