Product Description
Aluminum fluoride is a white crystal that sublimates at about 1272 degrees Celsius (760 mm). Its density is 2.882, and it has a strong irritant effect on tissues. Aluminum fluoride trihydrate is slightly soluble in water; it does not dissolve in most organic solvents, while anhydrous aluminum fluoride is insoluble in water.

Preparation Method
The hydrofluoric acid reacts with aluminum hydroxide at a high temperature to obtain aluminum fluoride trihydrate, which is then calcined and dehydrated to obtain anhydrous aluminum fluoride. Alternatively, each aluminum fluoride may be prepared from fluorite, sulfuric acid, and aluminum hydroxide.
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
Aluminum Fluoride is packaged in laminated plastic woven bag,lined with plastic film bag,25kg/50kg/1000kg each bag or according to customer requirements.
