What is Calcium Fluoride used for?
Calcium fluoride, also known as fluorite, is a naturally occurring mineral that has a number of industrial and commercial uses. The main use is in the manufacture of hydrofluoric acid, a chemical of wide applicability in the manufacture of fluorocarbons, pharmaceuticals, and many other compounds.
It is used as an acid flux in the steel industry, helping to remove impurities from steels during smelting processes to produce high-quality steels. It is also used as a source of fluoride in the production of aluminum.
In the glass and ceramic industries, it turns out to be an opacifier and flux. This improves the clarity and strength of finished glass products, including ovenware and laboratory glassware. Calcium fluoride in ceramics is used as a raw material for glaze and frit in ceramic enamels to improve the appearance and resistance of the surface being coated.
Apart from this, calcium fluoride is applied to optical lenses and windows, basically in the wavelength ranges of infrared and ultraviolet. Because of its special optical properties, it finds a home in specialized equipment and devices. Medical science uses calcium fluoride to prepare several dental products, such as toothpaste and mouthwash. It strengthens the tooth enamel and thus acts against its decay.
