Superior Optical Qualities

Calcium Fluoride is renowned for its exceptional optical transmission across a broad range from 0.15 to 12 micrometers, making it a preferred choice for manufacturing windows and lenses in both the ultraviolet and infrared spectra. Its low refractive index and minimal birefringence ensure accurate optical performance in demanding scientific and industrial applications.

Industrial Versatility and Applications

Engineered for industrial-grade performance, Calcium Fluoride is insoluble in water, stable under harsh conditions, and non-hygroscopic. With its use spanning metallurgy, glass manufacturing, welding agents, and ceramics, it functions as a critical flux and stabilizer, enhancing process efficiency and product durability across multiple sectors.

Reliable Packaging and Storage

Our Calcium Fluoride comes securely packaged in HDPE bags or drums with the option for customized solutions. To maintain its effectiveness and shelf life, it should be stored in a cool, dry place, keeping it free from moisture exposure. Its physical properties ensure easy handling, transportation, and long-term stability during storage.
