Product Description

Potassium Fluoride is a colorless powdered compound having a density of 2.48 grams per cubic centimeters. It is commonly used in organic chemistry applications for the conversion of chlorocarbons into fluorocarbons. This industrial compound shows free solubility within boiling water. It is highly incompatible with strong acids and strong bases. Customers can get highly pure Potassium Fluoride with a supply ability of 100 kilograms per month within different sized sealed packages.



Key Features and Physical Properties

Potassium Fluoride is a white, odorless crystalline solid with a purity of 98% minimum. It possesses a high melting point of 858C and boiling point of 1,505C. Its density is 2.48 g/cm3, and it is highly soluble in water and alcohol. This compound is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the air, and is classified as an inorganic fluoride salt.


Application and Industrial Uses

Widely used for etching glass, Potassium Fluoride plays a vital role in the manufacturing of specialty chemicals and pharmaceuticals. It functions as a catalyst in various reactions and serves as a soldering flux for metalwork. Its technical, analytical, and reagent grades make it suitable for laboratory experiments and industrial processes alike.


Safety and Handling Precautions

Because Potassium Fluoride is toxic and can cause severe burns, it requires strict safety protocols during handling and transportation. Store it in tightly sealed containers away from moisture and acids. Classified under UN Number 1812 and transport class 6.1, personnel should adhere to proper protective measures and regulations for toxic substances.
