The growing demand for aluminum fluoride in the construction industry is likely to be a major driver for the global aluminum fluoride market. The impermeability and corrosion resistance offered by aluminum fluoride make it perfect for use in construction applications, which has led to its widespread usage in the same. It is also widely used in glass etching and polishing, stainless steel pickling, and preparations of semiconductors. The ceramic industry is also likely to be a major driver for the aluminum fluoride market over the forecast period, as aluminum fluoride is widely used in the ceramic industry in the production of special refractory products. Aluminum fluoride is also used in welding agents, optical materials, oil refining, and spectroscopic components. On the other hand, aluminum fluoride has carcinogenic properties, which render it unsafe for use in applications involving extended human contact. It is also not environmentally viable, making it prone to environmental regulations brought about by governments all over the world.
Aluminum fluoride, represented by the formula AlF3.xH2O, is an inorganic compound occurring in several forms of hydrates, including monohydrates, trihydrates, hexahydrates, and nonahydrates. Aluminum fluoride is a major intermediate in the production of aluminum and is produced by reacting alumina with hydrogen fluoride at 700 degrees centigrade. It can also be produced from fluorosilicic acid and through the thermal decomposition of ammonium hexafluoroaluminate. It is also found in nature in the form of a rare mineral called rosenbergite and an anhydrous mineral called oskarssonite. It is a colorless solid and presents beneficial properties such as extended IR transmittance, low refractive index, low dispersion, and radiation resistance.
