High-purity aluminium fluoride used as a flux in primary and secondary aluminium smelting. Lowers the melting point of alumina in Hall-Héroult electrolysis cells, improving energy efficiency and metal output. Also used in ceramics and specialty glass formulations.

Independent verification of Aluminium Fluoride on third-party scientific databases:
Smelter-grade dry-process AlF₃ at 93% min Al₂O₃-equivalent fluoride (typically 60–62% F, 31–33% Al), bulk density 0.7–0.9 g/cc, particle size 90% > 45 µm. Low SO₄ (< 1%) and low SiO₂ (< 0.25%) are essential to avoid pot-line poisoning.
Dry-process AlF₃ (made from HF gas + alumina) is preferred by smelters for its higher fluoride content and lower moisture. Wet-process material (from H₂SiF₆) is cheaper but contains residual moisture and SiO₂ — suitable for non-smelter use.
Aluminium Fluoride is supplied in HDPE woven bags with inner LDPE liner (25 kg / 50 kg net), HDPE drums (25 / 50 / 250 kg), and FIBC jumbo bags (500 / 1000 kg) for solid grades. Liquid grades ship in HDPE-lined steel drums (250 kg) or 1000 L IBC totes. Custom packaging — including nitrogen-blanketed, moisture-tight, or food-grade containers — is available on request.
Standard MOQ is 1 metric tonne for solid grades and 200 kg for liquid grades; pilot quantities of 5–25 kg are available for R&D qualification. Stock items dispatch within 7–10 working days from confirmed PO. Made-to-order grades and large export consignments require 3–4 weeks. Indian deliveries by road typically reach 4–7 days; export FCL shipments depend on destination port.
Yes. A 16-section GHS-format SDS is dispatched with every shipment and is also available in advance from marketing@sbfluorochem.com. A batch-specific COA accompanies every consignment and is emailed before dispatch for goods-receipt verification. Test methods follow IS / ASTM / USP / IP / EP as applicable.
SB Chemicals exports to over 35 countries across South-East Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. We hold IEC, GST, and APEDA registrations. Shipments move CIF / FOB / CFR / FCA / EXW from Mundra, Nhava Sheva (JNPT), or Hazira ports. Letter of Credit (LC), TT, and DA terms are accepted subject to credit approval.
Yes. SB Chemicals operates an ISO 9001:2015 certified Quality Management System at the GIDC Vapi facility. Every batch undergoes raw-material testing, in-process control, and final QC release before despatch. Clients are welcome to schedule a third-party audit of the plant.
