Fluorspar is the commercial name for fluorite, a mineral whose principal chemical component is calcium fluoride (CaF2). It is used as a fluorine-industry raw material and as a flux in metallurgical processes.
What is the difference between powder, lumps, and briquettes?+
Powder offers fine particle form for chemical processing and metallurgical use. Lumps provide natural or processed coarse feed. Briquettes agglomerate fine material into a consistent form that can simplify handling and charging in metallurgical operations.
Which CaF2 grades does Global Fluorspar publish?+
Published ranges include acid-grade powder above 97% CaF2, metallurgical powder from 85% to 95%, lumps from 75% to 98%, and briquettes from 75% to 95%, with impurity limits varying by grade.
What should an international buyer include in an RFQ?+
State the product form, target CaF2, maximum SiO2 and CaCO3, sulphur and phosphorus limits where relevant, particle size, moisture, monthly quantity, packing preference, destination port, and required inspection documents.
