Product Description
Aluminum fluoride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula AlF3. It can be produced by reacting aluminum hydroxide or metallic aluminum with hydrogen fluoride, or by treating aluminum chloride with hydrofluoric acid and ammonia. It appears as colorless or white crystals and does not dissolve in water, acids, or bases. The substance is stable but decomposes upon heating. In electrolysis, it serves as an electrolyte regulator and catalyst.

Application
Additives used in aluminum metal production include aluminum fluoride (AlF3), which is widely utilized in the electrolytic production of aluminum.
Aluminum fluoride serves multiple functions in the aluminum electrolysis industry: it lowers the melting point of the electrolyte, enhances electrical conductivity, acts as a flux for non-ferrous metals, and is a component of fluxes and glazes for ceramics and enamel. It also functions as an anti-fermentation agent in essential oil production and as an inhibitor in secondary alcohol fermentation processes. Additionally, aluminum fluoride is employed in welding fluxes for metal welding and in the manufacturing of optical lenses.
In the electrolytic production of aluminum, aluminum fluoride, when used with cryolite, reduces the melting point below 1000°C, forming a water-soluble molten salt solution. This molten solution is then electrolyzed to produce metallic aluminum.
Packing and Shipping:
Aluminum Fluoride is packaged in laminated plastic woven bag,lined with plastic film bag,25kg/50kg/1000kg each bag or according to customer requirements.
Aluminum Fluoride is shipped via land,sea,and air.
Storage:
Store in Dry and Ventilated place with the Room Temperature.Preserved in Original Tight Closed containers.Keep Away from Light and Heating.
Often found in powder form, aluminum fluoride should be stored in a tightly closed container away from air, moisture and heat. Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eye protection when handling aluminum fluoride.
The chemical is potentially lethal in small doses, where it creates a neurotoxic effect, impacting the bone and nervous systems. Prolonged exposure may cause asthma, alter bones or severely impair the nervous system.
Aluminum fluoride’s insolubility with strong acids should prevent storage with such acids in close containment.
