Description
Zinc Fluoride (CAS 7783-49-5, EC 232-001-9, formula F2Zn) is an inorganic zinc salt also referred to as ZnF2, zinc difluoride, or zinc fluorure. It carries no E-code designation and is classified under HS code 28261990 within the Salts and Minerals category.
In electronics manufacturing, Zinc Fluoride serves as a flux and surface modification agent, promoting adhesion and oxide removal on metal substrates during soldering and plating processes. In mining and metallurgical applications, it functions as a catalytic additive in ore processing, where fluoride ions facilitate selective mineral separation and reaction control.
Zinc Fluoride is supplied as a white powder and is registered under REACH regulations applicable to the European market. Procurement teams should confirm grade specifications and purity certificates prior to ordering, as requirements vary between electronics and metallurgical end uses. Standard industrial packaging formats apply; contact your supplier for available lot sizes and documentation.
