Lithium Fluoride Crystal

Product Description
Lithium Fluoride (LiF) is an alkali metal halide with a white powder or cubic crystal appearance. It is an important inorganic compound widely used across various industries, particularly in nuclear and optical applications. Lithium Fluoride crystals exhibit excellent high-temperature and chemical stability, are slightly soluble in water, and primarily dissolve in acids. It can be prepared by reacting lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide with hydrofluoric acid.
