Strontium fluoride

Strontium fluoride

strontium difluoride; strontium(II) fluoride

CAS 7783-48-4

Chemical Formula SrF2

Molecular Weight 125.62 g/mol

Strontium fluoride (SrF2) is a white, crystalline solid compound composed of strontium and fluoride ions, exhibiting a cubic crystal structure. It's known for its high melting point, thermal stability, and low solubility in water. SrF2 is used in various applications, including as a flux in metallurgy, in the production of optical materials, and as a thermoluminescent dosimeter crystal. 

Industrial Uses

1. Performance Chemicals

  • Precursor: Strontium fluoride is a starting material for the synthesis of tristrontium phosphate and Sr-substituted fluorapatites.
  • Flux in Ceramics and Glass: Strontium fluoride acts as a flux, meaning it helps lower the melting point of other materials, making them easier to process and shape into ceramics or glass. 
  • Optical Ceramics: strontium fluoride is used in optical ceramics, especially for applications requiring infrared (IR) transmission.
