General Description

Aluminium fluoride oxide, also known as aluminofluoride or AlF3?Al2O3, is a compound consisting of aluminium, fluoride, and oxygen. It is used for various industrial applications, including as a catalyst for the production of synthetic cryolite and as an additive in the production of aluminum. Aluminium fluoride oxide can also be used as a flux in the electrolysis of aluminum and as an additive in the production of ceramics and glass. It is a white crystalline solid with a high melting point and is insoluble in water. It is considered to be moderately toxic and should be handled with care.
