Fluorine and Its Industrial Uses 

Fluorine is considered as the most reactive halogen element. It has much attraction towards metal and hydrogen. In the early stages of its discovery, it was named as ‘fluor’ in fluorspar compound. Fluor is a Latin word which means ‘to flow’. Since it is the most electronegative element and it is highly reactive towards metals; that’s why fluorine is called as fluorine.

Early stages of Fluorine

First of all, it was expected to be found in the fluorspar (calcium fluoride) which was used in metal refining due to its free flowing nature. Later, the scientists discovered an acid which was much freed flowing and much reactive. This acid was much harmful to skin. They named it the fluoric acid. In 1886, Henry Moissan separated the fluorine from electrolysis of anhydrous hydrofluoric acid with dry potassium hydrogen fluoride. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for this great achievement in 1906. When the fluorine was isolated, its commercial value was inevitable. Since then it had been using in many industrial sectors including metallic products, cleaning agents and the toothpastes. 

Industrial Uses

Fluorine is one of the most commercialized elements. Due to its high reactivity and diverse nature of free flowing, high electro negativity and huge affection with Hydrogen; it is used in almost every big industry. Some of the most popular uses of Fluorine are as follows:

1. Its most reactive nature is used in nuclear fuel process. 
2. Many high quality plastics like Teflon are made using Fluorine.
3. Fluorine is the most powerful element in dental industry. It is compounded with Sodium and used in toothpastes, dental rinse and it prevents the dental cavities. 
4. Some of the Fluoride acids can dissolve the glass. They are used in light bulbs and other products. 
5. One of the most common uses is among refrigerators and air conditioners. The chlorofluorocarbons are used in this industry. 
6. Fluorine Hexa Fluoride compound is used with uranium to disperse the uranium isotopes. On the other hand, when hexafluoride is chemically reacted with Sulfur then it generates a special gas which is used as insulation in high-power transformers.
7. Although fluorine is much toxic in general and can be hazardous to anyone’s health or skin but the recent researches show that it can slightly be used in cancer fighting drugs. The research shows that it results better against cancer because of its higher metabolic stability.  

One famous chemical industry (Shanghai Hohance Chemical Co. Ltd.) is now working on Fluorine based industrial products.  It is good sign for us that a high-tech enterprise, who is specialized in Research and development and providing the best chemical and pharmaceutical products, is now focusing on Fluorine products. 

Hohance’s previous record shows that it is well capable and worthy organization which has been continuously providing large amount of high quality chemical products like Pharmaceutical products, Nootropics and intermediates and OLED and  OPC intermediates. The Shanghai Hohance is ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certified. Moreover, it is awarded as “Technically Advanced Service Enterprise” and “New and High-Tech Enterprise”

Its fluoro related products are even worth consuming. Top rated fluoro products of Hohance, based on their purity, are Togini’s Reagent, Difluoroacetic acid and Tri-tert-butylphosphine tetrafluoroborate. These are 98% pure chemical products. There are many other products ranging from 95% purity to 98% purity. You can check all fluoro products on their website. They run professional research and development departments in top institutes like Chinese Academy of Sciences, Peking University and Fudan University. 

This fastest growing company (Shanghai Hohance Chemical Co. Ltd.) is now running partnership with many top multinational pharmaceutical R&D units. The NISSEI Corporation, Tokyo Chemical industry, Kanematsu Corporation, Sundia group and all other major brands are its top customers. It can be easily considered as best fluoride Production Company because of its high quality pharmaceutical products based on Fluorine.
