What this grade is for
Fluorica supplies fluorspar powder for industrial buyers, with acid-grade CaF2 >97% for fluorine-chemical feedstock discussions and metallurgical-grade CaF2 85% / 90% / 93% / 95% for flux applications. Buyers can request wet powder or dried powder with published moisture guidance below 0.3%, subject to final RFQ, impurity, packing, and shipment confirmation.
Powder sourcing should not be reduced to a single CaF2 number. The workable specification combines grade, SiO2, CaCO3, sulphur, phosphorus, moisture, packing, destination port, and the plant's intended use.
- Hydrofluoric acid and downstream fluorine chemical feedstock.
- Metallurgical flux applications that require fine, process-ready material.
- Plants that need wet or dried powder to match storage, shipping, and handling constraints.
Published specification guidance
Direct answer: Fluorica publishes fluorspar powder ranges for acid-grade CaF2 >97%, metallurgical-grade CaF2 85% / 90% / 93% / 95%, and dried powder moisture below 0.3%. Buyers should confirm CaF2, SiO2, CaCO3, sulphur, phosphorus, moisture, packing, and destination before quotation because powder performance depends on the complete specification, not CaF2 alone.
Published powder ranges from the source page| Grade | CaF2 | Additional note |
|---|
| Acid grade | >97% | SiO2 <1%, 1-1.2%, 1.2-1.5%; CaCO3 <1%, 1-1.2%. |
| Metallurgical grade | 85% / 90% / 93% / 95% | Used when the process values handling and chemistry together. |
| Dried powder | <0.3% moisture | For buyers that want lower residual moisture on arrival. |
Key Procurement Criteria for Fluorspar Powder Buyers
When sourcing industrial-grade fluorspar powder from Fluorica, technical buyers should verify five quality and handling parameters before comparing offers.
- CaF2 purity vs application: specify acid-grade powder above 97% CaF2 for fluorine-chemical feedstock discussions or metallurgical-grade powder at 85% / 90% / 93% / 95% for flux applications.
- Impurity thresholds: confirm SiO2, CaCO3, sulphur, and phosphorus together instead of accepting a CaF2 number alone.
- Moisture content: choose wet powder or dried powder below 0.3% moisture according to storage, ocean transport, port handling, and plant feeding requirements.
- Particle size and packing: state the expected powder form, bagging method, loading plan, and destination port so logistics and plant handling are quoted on the same basis.
- COA and inspection basis: request the sampling method, batch or lot identity, and release terms before treating two powder offers as equivalent.
