Fluorspar
(natural calcium fluoride)
Characteristics
- Density: 3.2 g/cm³
- Mohs‘ hardness: 4
- Thermal conductivity: 9.7 W/mK
- Lubricating effect (solid lubricant)
- Fluxing agent
Range of use:
electrode-quality for fluxes and electrode production, metallurgic-quality for the foundry industry and synthetic clinkers, additive for glass, enamel and plastic, acid spar (> 97% CaF2) for the production of hydrogen fluoride, for special clinker bricks in the cement industry, additive for lubricants and polymeric anti-friction agents.

Additionally we offer specialties with custom made particle size distributions (e.g.: > 45 µm = 20 µm = < 0.1 %) or upgraded surface properties (e.g. improved hydrophilicity).
Custom made product designing:
We collaborate closely with our production plants to offer custom-made products, tailored specifically to meet the unique requirements of our customers’ applications and processes.
