  • Applications

    Aluminum fluoride (AlF3) is used as a fluoride source and as a Lewis‑acid catalyst in certain organic reactions and polymerization processes; it also serves as a fluxing and refining agent in glass, ceramics, and some metallurgical operations to improve processing characteristics; it is a precursor for the synthesis of fluorinated organic compounds; and it is considered a component or precursor for specialty electronic materials and dielectric coatings.
