60%, 70%, 85%, 96%, 97% fluorite spheres (Fluorospar Briquette CaF₂) for use in the fluorochemical and metallurgical industries.

Product Overview Fluorite spheres (Fluorspar Briquette/Fluorspar Ball) are industrial raw material products made from fluorite powder, fluorite concentrate, or other fluorine-containing mineral raw materials through a sphere-forming process. Their main component is calcium fluoride (CaF₂).

Compared to traditional block fluorite, fluorite spheres feature uniform particle size, low transportation loss, and convenient feeding, making them suitable for industrial fields such as fluorochemical production, steel smelting, and non-ferrous metal processing.

For the Russian market, fluorite spheres are primarily targeted at hydrofluoric acid producers, fluoride salt producers, metallurgical companies, and mineral traders.

Russian buyers typically focus on: CaF₂ content grade, SiO₂ content, impurity composition, sphere strength, particle size, moisture content, packaging method, and batch COA test data.

Why Industrial Production Needs Fluorite Spheres?

Fluorite is an important industrial source of fluorine. In the hydrofluoric acid production process, fluorite reacts with sulfuric acid to release hydrogen fluoride, a crucial basic raw material for the production of fluorine-containing chemicals.

Fluorite spheres, produced through compression molding, improve raw material utilization efficiency, reduce dust loss, and enhance automated feeding processes.

Different industrial customers select different CaF₂ grades based on their production process requirements:

60%, 70%, 85%, 96%, 97%, etc.

The Role of Fluorite Balls in Industrial Production

Fluorite balls primarily provide a source of fluorine while improving transportation, storage, and feeding performance.

Their actual effectiveness is affected by:

CaF₂ content,

Impurity levels,

Pellet strength,

Particle size, and

Production equipment conditions.

Without customer process verification, no promises should be made regarding increased production capacity or reduced costs.
