Calcium fluoride powder is an inorganic fluoride compound composed of calcium and fluorine. It is a white solid with low water solubility, good chemical stability under suitable conditions and a high melting point.
CaF₂ powder is used in various industrial processes, including glass manufacturing, ceramics, metallurgy and the production of fluorine-containing chemicals. Its suitability depends on the material grade, purity, particle size and specific process requirements.
VIMATERIAL supplies calcium fluoride powder for industrial and material processing applications. Specifications such as purity and particle size can be discussed according to your requirements. Contact us for more information.
We also supply calcium fluoride granules and calcium fluoride sputtering targets.

Note: The values above are general reference properties of calcium fluoride. Actual powder specifications, including purity, particle size and moisture content, should be confirmed for the supplied grade.
VIMATERIAL applies quality control procedures covering incoming materials, production processes and final inspection. Product specifications can be reviewed before ordering to help establish suitability for the intended application.
Purity, particle size and other relevant parameters can be discussed according to the available grade and customer requirements. Samples and inspection documentation can be provided subject to availability.
Calcium fluoride powder is packed in suitable sealed inner packaging with protective outer packaging to help prevent contamination and moisture exposure during storage and transport.
Store the powder in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area. Keep the package tightly closed when not in use and protect the material from moisture, dust and incompatible chemicals, particularly strong acids. Avoid generating and inhaling dust, and follow the applicable safety data sheet for handling and disposal.
A: Calcium fluoride powder is used in glass and ceramic manufacturing, selected metallurgical processes, fluorine chemical production and specialised material formulations. Its suitability depends on the material grade and processing requirements.
A: Calcium fluoride is an important optical material, particularly in crystalline form. For powder applications, suitability depends on the subsequent processing route, purity and required optical properties of the finished material. Optical-grade requirements should therefore be specified separately.
A: Store CaF₂ powder in tightly sealed packaging in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area. Protect it from moisture, contamination and contact with incompatible chemicals, particularly strong acids. Minimise dust generation during handling and follow the applicable safety data sheet.
A: Please provide your required purity, particle size, quantity and intended application. If you have specific impurity limits or technical requirements, include them in your enquiry so that VIMATERIAL can assess the appropriate product specification.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo. Each batch is released only after passing detailed specification tests.
Every batch of our materials is independently tested, and, if necessary, we send samples to certified companies for testing. We provide these documents and analysis certificates with the shipment to certify that our products meet the required standards.
