What is Magnesium Fluoride (MgF₂) used for?
Magnesium fluoride (MgF2) is an inorganic compound mainly used for several optical and industrial purposes. This is a white crystalline solid with very fine optical characteristics; therefore, it is used in the manufacture of optical components like lenses, prisms, and windows for UV and IR applications.
Low refractive index and high transmission in the UV range recommend magnesium fluoride for application as coatings in a variety of optical devices. Apart from optical applications, magnesium fluoride is used either in the synthesis of fluorine-containing compounds or as a catalyst for many types of chemical reactions. It is further used to prepare special-purpose glass and ceramics, increasing the mechanical strength and thermal shock resistance of these materials.
Magnesium fluoride has found applications in the electronics industry for the manufacture of semiconductors and other electronic components, where its characteristic properties enhance the performance and reliability of such devices. This is also used in metallurgy as a flux in the melting and refining of metals.
Further, due to the fact that it is stable and nontoxic, magnesium fluoride finds applications in dentistry, usually in fluoride treatments for strengthening tooth enamel to battle against cavities.
