Description

Aluminum fluoride trihydrate is used as an additive for the production of aluminum by electrolysis. It is also used to inhibit fermentation and in the preparation of low index films. It serves as a flux ingredient for the removal of magnesium in the refining of aluminum scrap. Further, it is used in the manufacture of aluminum silicates, ceramics and glass. In addition, it acts as a catalyst for organic synthesis and filler in glass industry.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
