Frequently Asked Questions about Potassium Fluoride

Do you supply both anhydrous and dihydrate potassium fluoride?

Yes. KF anhydrous (98% min, water content < 0.5%) is packed under nitrogen in moisture-tight HDPE drums with inner LDPE liner — suitable for organofluorination and halex reactions. KF dihydrate (industrial flux grade) is packed in standard 25 kg HDPE bags. Spray-dried, low-moisture variants are available on request.

What is the typical moisture specification of your anhydrous KF?

Standard anhydrous KF assays at 98% min KF with water content < 0.5% (Karl Fischer). For demanding fluorination chemistry we supply a low-moisture grade with H₂O < 0.1% packaged under argon in heat-sealed foil pouches inside fibre drums with desiccant.

Is potassium fluoride suitable for halogen-exchange (Halex) reactions?

Yes. Our anhydrous KF is sized to D50 ≈ 30 μm to maximise surface area in solid-liquid Halex reactions (e.g. ArCl → ArF). Spray-dried micronised lots are available for benzotrifluoride and pharma fluorination intermediate manufacture.

Why is anhydrous KF packed under nitrogen?

KF is hygroscopic; uncontrolled moisture pickup converts it to the dihydrate and reduces fluorinating efficiency. Nitrogen blanketing and moisture-barrier liners preserve the < 0.5% H₂O specification through transit and warehouse storage.

What is the standard packaging for Potassium Fluoride?

Potassium 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.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) and typical lead time?

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.

Do you provide MSDS / SDS and a Certificate of Analysis (COA)?

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.

Which countries do you export to and what Incoterms do you offer?

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.

Are your products manufactured to ISO 9001:2015 quality standards?

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.
