Albany, NY -- (SBWire) -- 12/01/2014 --Fluorspar is the commercial name for the mineral fluorite (calcium fluoride CaF2). Commercially fluorspar is graded according to quality and attributes into acid grade, ceramic grade and metallurgical grade. It generally develops well formed cubic crystals exhibiting a wide range of colors. The end use is determined by the grade of the fluorspar. Almost two thirds of the world's production of fluorspar is used for the manufacturing of hydrofluoric acid (HF). Hydrofluoric acid is used as a feedstock for the manufacturing of fluorine containing compounds like fluoropolymers and fluorocarbons. Fluorspar is also used as a flux in the steel making and in the production of aluminum while a small proportion is used in the production of opaque glasses and enamels.
