Zinc fluoride (ZnF₂) is an inorganic ceramic compound belonging to the halide ceramic family, characterized by strong ionic bonding between zinc cations and fluoride anions. It is used primarily in specialized optical applications, fluoride glass systems, and as a precursor material in solid-state chemistry; its notable properties include good transparency in the infrared region and chemical stability, making it attractive for optics and specialized coatings where traditional oxides are inadequate.
