Description
1. Product Overview
Fluorite (Calcium Fluoride, CaF₂) is a naturally occurring industrial mineral widely used as a critical fluxing agent across metallurgical and chemical industries. It plays a central role in steelmaking, aluminum production, and hydrofluoric acid manufacturing, enabling improved process efficiency and product quality. Its high chemical stability and versatility make it a strategically important raw material in global supply chains. With growing demand from fluorochemical and clean energy industries, Fluorite remains an essential input for high-value industrial production.
