Zinc fluoride is an inorganic compound used in ceramic glazes, glass manufacturing, and as a flux in metallurgical processes. It is also utilized in Performance Chemicals and specialized coating applications.

Industrial Uses

1. Performance Chemicals

  • Fluorinating Agent: Used in inorganic synthesis and fluorination reactions, where it serves as a mild fluorine donor for introducing fluoride ions into target compounds.Valuable in the preparation of specialty fluorochemicals, especially where controlled reactivity is required.
  • Catalyst Precursor or Modifier: Acts as a catalyst additive in some alkylation and acylation reactions, particularly in petrochemical processes, where fluoride presence can improve catalyst efficiency and selectivity.

2. Metal Treatment 

  • Corrosion Inhibitor in Surface Coatings: Used in metal treatment and galvanizing processes as a corrosion-resistant additive, improving the durability of coatings applied to zinc, aluminum, and steel components.
  • Conversion Coating Component: Incorporated in phosphating and conversion coatings to prepare metal surfaces for painting, helping ensure better paint adhesion and longer protection against rust.
