Fluorides; of aluminium

HS code 282612 covers the classification of fluorides of aluminium, a critical chemical compound used in a variety of industrial applications. Aluminium fluoride is an essential raw material in the production of aluminium metal, as well as a key ingredient in the manufacture of various specialty chemicals, ceramics, and glass products. This code represents a significant segment of the global chemical industry, with widespread applications across multiple sectors, including metallurgy, electronics, and construction.

The production of aluminium fluoride typically involves the reaction of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) with hydrofluoric acid (HF) under controlled temperature and pressure conditions. The resulting aluminium fluoride is then purified and crystallized to obtain the desired product specifications. Continuous process technologies and advanced purification methods are often employed to ensure consistent quality and high yields.

The main inputs required for the production of aluminium fluoride under HS code 282612 include aluminium oxide (Al2O3) as the primary raw material, as well as hydrofluoric acid (HF) and various other chemical reagents. Additionally, specialized production equipment, such as reactors, crystallizers, and filtration systems, are essential for the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity or steam, are also necessary to power the production facilities.

The primary output of HS code 282612 is aluminium fluoride, which is a versatile chemical compound with numerous applications. The aluminium fluoride produced under this code is widely used as a raw material in the production of 280461 Aluminium, as well as in the manufacture of various specialty chemicals, ceramics, and glass products. Additionally, aluminium fluoride may be consumed by industries producing 282619 Fluorides; other, 282520 Calcium fluoride, and 282530 Sodium fluoride.
