Potassium Fluoride (CAS: 7789-23-3) has a salty taste and is poisonous. It is deliquescent. It is soluble in water, but insoluble in alcohol. Potassium fluoride is basis raw material of manufacturing fluoride. Its aqueous solution is alkaline and can corrode glass and porcelain, so it is usually used as a variety of glass etching, welding flux, wood preservative, agricultural pesticides, pesticide intermediates, pharmaceutical industry raw materials and organic fluorinated raw materials, in the construction, chemical industry, agriculture has an indispensable role.
A fluorinating agent of an organic compound, a catalyst, an absorbent (absorbing HF and moisture), and the like. It is also a raw material for the preparation of potassium hydrogen fluoride.
Potassium Fluoride is used in organic synthesis as a catalyst for various reactions, or to introduce fluorine into organic molecules.
Potassium Fluoride is still one of the most commonly used fluorinating agents, and it can be said that there is no vigorous development of fluorine chemical industry without potassium fluoride. And potassium fluoride as the most important period of the reaction activity of the fluoride agent, as a fluoride agent, especially in the production and application of fine chemicals, high activity Potassium Fluoride has the incomparable advantages of ordinary Anhydrous Potassium Fluoride.
Potassium Fluoride and Sodium Fluoride are more easily dissociated in various solvents. Since fluoride ions (F-) are easily formed, they can be used as fluorinating agents for organic compounds, in particular as fluorinating agents for halide exchange processes.
