APPLICATION
After HF, KF is the primary source of the fluoride ion for applications in manufacturing and in chemistry. In organic chemistry, KF is the preferred source of fluoride for the conversion of chlorocarbons into fluorocarbons. Such reactions usually employ polar solvents such as dimethyl formamide, ethylene glycol, and dimethyl sulfoxide. Potassium Fluoride is used in etching glass. It is used in chemical manufacturing for fluorination, flux for solder and insecticide formulatios. It is used as a preservative and as an insecticide.
