· JVASP-111255· CaF3

Calcium fluoride (CaF₃) is an ionic ceramic compound notable for its optical transparency across a wide spectral range and high thermal stability. It is primarily used in optical systems, fluorine production, and specialized high-temperature applications where its chemical inertness and optical properties provide advantages over conventional materials. Engineers select CaF₃ when transparency in the ultraviolet and infrared regions, resistance to thermal shock, or chemically aggressive environments are critical requirements.

Regulatory Screening

Environmental

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
