Barium Fluoride Crystal

Product Description
Barium Fluoride (BaF₂) is a colorless transparent cubic crystal or white powder with a high melting point and excellent refractive properties. It is soluble in hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and ammonium chloride solutions, as well as in organic solvents such as methanol and ethanol, but only slightly soluble in water. Barium fluoride is widely used in optical glass, laser generators, metallurgy, and other industries, and plays a significant role as a fluxing agent and corrosion inhibitor.
