Magnesium Fluoride

Product Description

Magnesium Fluoride is a high-purity, industrial-grade powder with a purity of 98%. It is a white crystalline solid with a pH level of 3.8 and can be stored at room temperature. This product is commonly used in various industrial applications, including optical coatings, infrared windows, and lenses due to its excellent optical properties. The high purity of this product makes it ideal for use in the semiconductor and aerospace industries. Its powder form makes it easy to handle and apply in various industrial processes.

Magnesium fluoride with the formula MgF2. The compound is a colorless to white crystalline salt and is transparent over a wide range of wavelengths, with commercial uses in optics that are also used in space telescopes. It occurs naturally as the rare mineral sellaite.

Magnesium fluoride is transparent over an extremely wide range of wavelengths. Windows, lenses, and prisms made of this material can be used over the entire range of wavelengths from 0.120 m (vacuum ultraviolet) to 8.0 m (infrared). High-quality, synthetic magnesium fluoride is one of two materials (the other being lithium fluoride) that will transmit in the vacuum ultraviolet range at 121 nm (Lyman alpha). Lower-grade magnesium fluoride is inferior to calcium fluoride in the infrared range.
