About fluorides; fluorosilicates, fluoroaluminates and other complex fluorine salts

HS code 2826 covers a diverse range of fluorine-based chemical compounds, which are essential in various industries. These compounds find applications in the production of aluminum, steel, and glass, as well as in the manufacturing of specialized chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and electronics. The global fluorine chemicals market is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, driven by increasing demand from end-use industries and the need for more efficient and environmentally-friendly production processes.

Production process

The production of the chemical compounds under HS code 2826 typically involves the reaction of fluorine-containing raw materials, such as fluorspar (calcium fluoride) or hydrogen fluoride, with other chemicals. Common production methods include electrolysis, acid-base reactions, and thermal decomposition. Manufacturers often employ advanced technologies, such as continuous flow reactors and automated control systems, to ensure consistent product quality and optimize production efficiency.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 2826 chemicals include fluorspar, hydrogen fluoride, and other fluorine-containing raw materials. Additionally, manufacturers may require specialized equipment, such as electrolysis cells, reaction vessels, and purification systems. Energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are also essential for the various production processes involved.

Production outputs

The chemical compounds classified under HS code 2826 are widely used as intermediates and feedstocks in a variety of industries. For example, fluorides are used in the production of 2801 Fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine and 2802 Sulphur, sublimed or precipitated; colloidal sulphur, while fluorosilicates and fluoroaluminates find applications in the manufacture of 2805 Alkali or alkaline-earth metals; rare-earth metals, scandium and yttrium, whether or not intermixed or interalloyed; mercury and 2814 Ammonia, anhydrous or in aqueous solution.
