Overview of Fluorspar
Fluorspar is a naturally occurring inorganic mineral widely used in metallurgy, chemical manufacturing, glass, ceramics, and speciality industrial applications. Chemically, the fluorspar formula is CaF₂ (calcium fluoride). It is the primary commercial source of fluorine and an essential raw material for many downstream fluorine-based chemicals.
From a material perspective, Fluorspar typically appears as white, pale green, or purple crystalline solids, depending on purity and mineral composition. It exhibits excellent thermal stability and fluxing properties, which make it highly valuable in high-temperature industrial processes. Due to its chemical stability and performance, fluorspar uses are predominantly industrial and metallurgical.
ChemicalBull supplies high-quality industrial-grade Fluorspar with controlled calcium fluoride content, consistent particle size, and reliable performance. Each batch is supported with complete documentation, including MSDS of Fluorspar, COA, and technical data sheets.
