Product overview — Aluminium Fluoride AlF3

Primary aluminium smelters request aluminium fluoride price per ton as a critical consumable for cryolite-alumina electrolysis bath management. AlF3 lowers the operating temperature of the bath from 1000°C toward 950°C, reducing energy consumption per tonne of aluminium produced by 3–5%.

Smelter-grade AlF3 at 90% minimum with 58% fluorine and SiO2 below 0.3% integrates into bath chemistry without disrupting current efficiency. AlF3 is added to maintain the NaF/AlF3 ratio (cryolite ratio) at 2.1–2.3. Fe2O3 below 0.05% prevents iron contamination of molten aluminium.

Consumption averages 5–8 kg AlF3 per tonne of aluminium produced, depending on cell technology. A critical supply item for smelters in the Gulf, India and Southeast Asia. HS code 2826.12. MOQ from 200 MT on FOB, CFR or CIF terms.

Loading ports & logistics — Aluminium Fluoride AlF3

Contract MOQ is 200 MT — fulfilled by 1,000 kg FIBC big bags on flat-rack containers or pneumatic tanker discharge at smelter silos. AlF3 is a fine irritant powder — dust extraction, respiratory protection and sealed bagging lines are mandatory at load-out. Typical smelter deliveries route direct to potline storage or port-side warehouse ahead of pneumatic transfer to cryolite-bath dosing systems.

1,000 kg FIBC with PE liner suit containerised export from 200 MT (approximately 18–22 MT per 20-foot flat-rack) to Gulf and Indian smelters without dedicated bulk pneumatic berths. Bags load under dust-controlled hoods; each unit is stretch-wrapped and labelled with batch AlF3 assay for bath-chemistry traceability.

Pneumatic tank trucks and pressurised hopper wagons move 200–1,000 MT parcels from fluorination plants to integrated smelters with inert-gas silo unloading. Tank interiors must be dry and free of moisture — wet AlF3 hydrolyses to aluminium hydroxide and releases HF vapour on contact with humidity.

Break-bulk coaster vessels handle annual framework contracts above 1,000 MT to dedicated aluminium smelter jetties in the UAE, Bahrain and Oman. FOB loading at exporter-nominated berth with independent dust-monitoring survey; CFR and CIF quotes include marine insurance and smelter discharge-equipment compatibility check. Not classified as dangerous goods for sea transport in most jurisdictions when properly packaged. Typical lead time 14–25 days from contract execution to loading window.

Packaging & documentation — Aluminium Fluoride AlF3

Each lot includes COA showing AlF3, F, SiO2 and Fe2O3 results plus safety data sheet per GHS. Standard documents: commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin.

Store in dry, covered conditions. Reject batches below 90% AlF3 specification — impurities alter bath conductivity and increase anode consumption.

FAQ — Aluminium Fluoride AlF3

How much AlF3 does a typical smelter consume per tonne of aluminium?

Consumption averages 5–8 kg AlF3 per tonne of aluminium produced, depending on cell technology and bath chemistry management.

What happens if AlF3 purity drops below 90%?

Impurities — mainly Al(OH)3 and residual H2SiF6 — alter bath conductivity and increase anode consumption. Smelters typically reject batches below specification.

Is AlF3 classified as hazardous for transport?

AlF3 powder is an irritant and requires dust control during loading. It is not classified as dangerous goods for sea transport in most jurisdictions when properly packaged.
