Product Description of Cryolite (CAS No. 15096-52-3)
Cryolite, also known as sodium hexafluoroaluminate (Na₃AlF₆), is a white crystalline powder widely used as an industrial flux. In aluminum smelting, it plays a key role in lowering the melting point of raw materials, improving electrolytic efficiency and reducing energy consumption.
In addition to its primary application in aluminum production, Cryolite is also utilized in ceramic and glass manufacturing and in certain pesticide formulations. The product is supplied in standard 25 kg bags or customized bulk packaging, ensuring high purity and stable quality to meet various industrial requirements.
