High-Purity CaF₂ with Low Silica for Efficient and Safe HF Production

Technical Specifications – Acid-Grade Fluorspar

Our acid-grade fluorite (CaF₂) is mined, sorted, and prepared to meet stringent industry requirements for hydrogen fluoride production and related chemical processes.

ParameterGuaranteed Value
CaF₂97.5% min
SiO₂0.8% max
CaCO₃0.7% max
Size Range95% -20mm lumps
Moisture< 0.5% (natural)

Every shipment undergoes rigorous testing to ensure compliance with buyer specifications and international safety standards. Custom sizing and specifications can be accommodated upon request.

Performance in HF Production


 Hydrofluoric acid producers understand the crucial role raw material purity plays in plant safety, output stability, and maintenance cost reduction. Our fluorite provides distinct advantages:

  • Low Silica Content (SiO₂ < 0.8%)
    Minimizes silicate build-up and prevents corrosive attack on reactor linings, extending plant life and reducing maintenance frequency.
  • Consistent Granulometry (95% -20mm)
    Enables even heat distribution in rotary kilns or shaft furnaces, improving conversion efficiency and reducing gas losses during the decomposition process.
  • Controlled CaCO₃ (< 0.7%)
    Reduces foam formation and gas contamination in hydrofluoric acid plants, safeguarding product yield and reducing post-treatment steps.

Quality Assurance at Every Step


 We’ve developed a multi-tiered quality control protocol to ensure each ton of acid-grade fluorite meets client-specific technical and safety criteria:

  • Hand-Sorting at Mine Face
    Immediately separates high-grade CaF₂ ore from gangue to ensure upstream purity control.
  • Optical Sorting Systems
    Advanced color recognition and AI-driven scanners remove silicate-based impurities before crushing and sizing, enhancing product uniformity and reducing reprocessing needs.
  • Batch Assay Protocol
    Every batch is laboratory-tested using XRF and wet chemical methods to verify CaF₂, SiO₂, and CaCO₃ levels, supported by COAs and third-party inspection as requested.

Solving Global Buyers' Pain Points


 We understand the recurring challenges buyers face in sourcing industrial minerals, especially from underrepresented regions:

❱ Inconsistent Quality or High Impurities

Our stringent sorting and multi-point testing guarantee uniform CaF₂ content, minimal contaminants, and compliance with your end-use application—whether for HF production, aluminum fluxing, or fluorochemicals.

❱ Logistics Uncertainty and Delays

Our integrated supply chain includes dedicated mineral stockyards, lined containers, and secured dispatch planning, ensuring punctual shipments and zero cross-contamination during loading.

❱ Transparency Concerns in Sourcing from Pakistan

At Shah Mercantile Co., we’re committed to redefining Pakistan’s role in the global supply chain with radical transparency, contract integrity, and proactive communication. You receive regular shipment updates, real-time coordination, and documentation support from inquiry to delivery.
