Inorganic fluorides are the foundational raw materials of the fluorochemical industry, representing the most diverse and widely used basic product series, mostly produced through the deep processing of fluorite. These products primarily include conventional categories such as hydrogen fluoride, hydrofluoric acid, fluoride salts, fluorosilicates, aluminum fluoride, and cryolite, largely essential raw materials for industrial production. Their overall purity range is wide, encompassing both general industrial-grade products suitable for traditional manufacturing and high-purity electronic-grade products meeting the demands of precision production. Inorganic fluorides are chemically reactive and cost-effective, primarily serving traditional industrial sectors such as metallurgical electrolysis, glass etching, ceramic building materials, metal surface treatment, and water treatment, serving as the source and supporting products of the entire fluorochemical industry chain.
Organic fluorides are high-end fine chemical products, produced through artificial synthesis processes. They possess excellent overall performance and high added value, making them core functional materials for high-tech industries. Common categories include fluoropolymers, fluororesins, fluororubbers, fluorinated refrigerants, and fluorinated additives for lithium batteries. The most significant characteristics of these products are their resistance to high and low temperatures, corrosion resistance, excellent insulation, oxidation resistance, and long service life; their physicochemical properties far surpass those of ordinary chemical materials. Currently, they are widely used in high-end fields such as new energy lithium batteries, photovoltaic and wind power, electronics, aerospace, precision machinery, and cold chain refrigeration, and are also a key supporting category for the upgrading of the modern new materials industry.
Refined civilian and specialized fluorides are a category of safe fluorides that have undergone purification and optimized formulation, primarily targeting public health and specialized applications. Representative products include sodium fluoride, stannous fluoride, dental fluoride coatings, and food-grade fluoride additives. These products differ from industrial raw materials, with extremely low impurity content and strictly controlled fluoride content, meeting national civilian safety standards. They are mainly used in oral care products such as toothpaste and mouthwash, as well as in dental cavity prevention and repair, some food preservation, and fluoride content adjustment in drinking water. With high product segmentation and strong safety, these are refined fluoride products closely related to people's daily lives.
