Application

Aluminum fluoride, anhydrous, is a vital component in various industrial applications due to its unique properties. Primarily, it serves a crucial role in aluminum production by lowering the melting point and enhancing the conductivity of the electrolyte, significantly reducing the energy required for electrolysis. This white crystalline solid or powder also finds use as a flux in ceramic glazes and enamels, aiding in the manufacture of aluminum silicate. Beyond its industrial applications, aluminum fluoride is employed as a catalyst and a barrier layer to prevent oxidation of aluminum mirrors. It also plays a role in scientific research, where its complexes help study phosphoryl transfer reactions essential for metabolism, growth, and differentiation. Additionally, it is involved in producing fluoroaluminate glasses and can inhibit fermentation in agricultural settings. Furthermore, aluminum fluoride is used in the formation of low index optical thin films for specific ultraviolent transparency needs.
