Description :

Overview of Sodium Cryolite

Sodium Cryolite is an important inorganic fluoride compound widely used in aluminium metallurgy, welding fluxes, abrasives, glass, ceramics, and speciality industrial chemical applications. Chemically, Sodium Cryolite is represented by the formula Na₃AlF₆, consisting of sodium, aluminium, and fluoride ions. It is best known for its role as a flux and melting-point reducer in aluminium processing.

In appearance, Sodium Cryolite is typically a white to pale grey crystalline powder with good thermal stability. It lowers the melting point of aluminium oxide and improves electrical conductivity during electrolytic aluminium production. Due to these properties, Sodium Cryolite is a critical material in aluminium smelting and metallurgical industries.
