Synthetic Cryolite

Na₃AlF₆ — Cryolite, Sodium Cryolite, Sodium Aluminium Fluoride

Description

Synthetic cryolite is a cornerstone product in aluminium metallurgy, abrasive manufacturing, and ceramic processing. In aluminium smelting, it serves as the electrolyte bath medium. In abrasives, it acts as a grinding aid filler in resin-bonded wheels. Also used in enamel frits, glass opacification, and welding electrode coatings.

Frequently Asked Questions about Synthetic Cryolite

What Na/Al ratio and particle size do you offer?

Synthetic cryolite is supplied at Na/Al molar ratios of 1.5:1 to 2.85:1 (sub-stoichiometric to stoichiometric). Smelter-grade is sized to D50 ≈ 30 µm (free-flowing fine powder); welding-flux grade is sized to 100–200 µm granular. Custom Na/Al ratios and PSDs are made-to-order.

What is the fluoride and alumina content typical of your smelter-grade cryolite?

Smelter-grade cryolite assays F 52% min, Al 12.5–13.0%, Na 30–32%, with SiO₂ < 0.25%, Fe₂O₃ < 0.05%, P₂O₅ < 0.02%, and SO₄ < 0.5%. Bulk density is 0.85–1.05 g/cc. Each consignment is supplied with full XRF and wet-chemistry COA.

Is synthetic cryolite a regulated transport good?

Cryolite is regulated under UN 3288, Class 6.1 PG III. We ship in 1000 kg FIBC jumbo bags or 25 kg laminated HDPE bags with full IMDG / ADR / DGR documentation.

What is the standard packaging for Synthetic Cryolite?

Synthetic Cryolite 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.
