Sodium Fluoride | 7681-49-4

Description :

Sodium Fluoride (NaF)

Sodium Fluoride, with the chemical formula NaF, is a crucial inorganic compound widely utilized for its diverse applications in dental health, water treatment, and industrial manufacturing. It typically appears as a white crystalline powder or colorless crystals and is highly valued for its ability to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent dental caries. As a high-purity fluoridating agent, it is an essential component of oral care formulations such as toothpastes and of municipal water fluoridation projects worldwide.

At Chemical Bull, we provide premium IP, BP, and USP Grade Sodium Fluoride (CAS 7681-49-4) that meets stringent international safety and quality standards. Beyond its pharmaceutical uses, our product serves as a vital reagent in metal cleaning, wood preservation, and the synthesis of glass and specialized insecticides.

Industrial & Commercial Applications

Sodium Fluoride is prized for its reactive properties and ability to provide a controlled source of fluoride ions across various industries:

• Oral Healthcare: A primary active ingredient in toothpastes, mouthwashes, and dental varnishes, used to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent dental caries.
  
  
• Water Fluoridation: Extensively utilized by municipal water treatment facilities to maintain optimal fluoride levels in public drinking water for community dental health.
  
  
• Metallurgical Flux: Used in the smelting and refining of aluminum and other light metals to lower the melting point and facilitate the removal of impurities.
  
  
• Glass & Ceramic Manufacturing: Acts as an opacifying agent and flux in the production of specialty glass, enamels, and ceramic glazes.
  
  
• Wood Preservation: Employed as a protective agent for timber and wood products to inhibit fungal growth and insect infestation.
  
  
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a raw material in the synthesis of other inorganic fluorides and fluorinated organic compounds.
