Aluminium Fluoride – 500 gram Packs

Aluminium Fluoride is an inorganic compound of aluminium and fluorine with the chemical formula AlF3. It has a molecular weight of approximately 83.98 g/mol and is commonly encountered as a white solid powder. Aluminium Fluoride is relevant to inorganic chemistry and materials science and is used in selected industrial and research contexts involving fluoride-containing materials. Its relatively low water solubility distinguishes it from many other aluminium salts and should be considered when planning solution-based experiments. Laboratory use may include studies of inorganic composition, material properties, and methods that explicitly specify aluminium fluoride. The reagent is not interchangeable with other aluminium halides. Users should confirm the required grade and chemical form and consult the relevant Safety Data Sheet for handling, storage, and disposal.

Frequently Asked Questions About Aluminium Fluoride

What is Aluminium Fluoride used for in laboratories?

Aluminium Fluoride is relevant to inorganic chemistry and materials research involving fluoride-containing solids. Its use should be limited to procedures that specify the compound and account for its relatively low water solubility.

What is the molecular formula of Aluminium Fluoride?

Aluminium Fluoride has the formula AlF3 and a molecular weight of approximately 83.98 g/mol. These values refer to the defined compound rather than a mixture containing aluminium and fluoride.

What is the CAS number of Aluminium Fluoride?

The CAS Registry Number for Aluminium Fluoride is 7784-18-1. Confirm the chemical identity on the product label before recording this number in laboratory inventory systems.

Can Aluminium Fluoride be used in educational laboratories?

It may be appropriate for supervised inorganic chemistry experiments when the method specifically requires aluminium fluoride. Because fluoride-containing materials require careful handling, users should assess the hazards and follow the applicable Safety Data Sheet.

How should Aluminium Fluoride be stored and handled?

Keep it in a tightly closed, labelled container in a dry location. Avoid creating dust and prevent unnecessary contact with eyes and skin. Follow the product SDS for personal protection, chemical segregation, spill response, and disposal.

Storage Conditions for Aluminium Fluoride

Store in a tightly closed, labelled container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Protect the material from contamination and moisture, and segregate it from incompatible chemicals according to the current Safety Data Sheet. Maintain suitable controls to prevent powder release during storage and transfer.

Precautions for Handling Aluminium Fluoride

Read the Safety Data Sheet before use. Wear suitable gloves, safety glasses, and protective clothing, and avoid inhaling dust. Use appropriate ventilation when transferring the powder and prevent contact with eyes and skin. Follow the institution’s procedures for spill management and fluoride-containing chemical waste.
