The Application of Sodium Fluoride
Foshan Nanhai Shuangfu Chemical Co., Ltd provides several grades of Sodium Fluoride, such as Industrial grade， toothpaste grade and battery grade.
Industrial Grade Sodium Fluoride:
It is the most widely used one and has a wide range of applications.
1、Sodium fluoride is an important fluoride salt, which is used to manufacture other raw materials of fluoride.
2、Sodium fluoride can also be used as agricultural pesticides and fungicides.
3、Applied as a wood preservative, water treatment agent, ceramic pigment, a protective layer, light metal fluoride salt treatment agent, UF3 adsorbent in the nuclear industry, and it can be used to make boiling steel, smelting and refining.
4、Sodium fluoride can be used in dyestuff, welding and electroplating to enhance the corrosion resistance and wear resistance. For example we use sodium fluoride to improve the wear resistance in the production of sealing materials and brake pads.
5、Sodium fluoride has a strong cleaning and disinfection function, can effectively remove all kinds of dirt, and can also kill microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi.
6、Sodium fluoride can effectively remove organic matter in water, eliminate heavy metals in water, and effectively eliminate algae and other pathogens in water.
7、Sodium fluoride is an antioxidant that effectively reduce the free oxygen in water and prevent the oxidation reaction of organic matter in water, thereby effectively delaying the degradation of organic matter in water.
8、Sodium fluoride can also be used in the manufacture of medical devices, as well as adhesives, insulating agents, etc.
Toothpaste Grade Sodium Fluoride:
Adding sodium fluoride to the toothpaste can prevent dental caries. Because fluoride and tooth enamel can form fluoridate on the surface of tooth enamel, which improves the hardness and acid resistance of tooth enamel and reduces the formation of plaque and the occurrence of dental caries.
Sodium fluoride's benefits on dental health were first observed in the 1930s, when individuals in communities with fluoridated drinking water showed less tooth decay than those without fluoridated water. The use of fluoride in dental practice began in the 1940s. Now, sodium fluoride may be found in a variety of gels, varnishes, rinses, toothpaste products, and fluoride treatments provided in dental care. According to the American Dental Association (ADA), thorough evidence reviews have indicated that the use of fluoride to prevent and control dental caries is safe when used correctly and is highly effective in reducing the prevalence of caries.
Toothpaste grade Sodium Fluoride produced by Foshan Nanhai Shuangfu Chemical is also suitable for pharmaceutical applications.
Battery Grade Sodium Fluoride:
Battery-grade sodium fluoride has extremely strict requirements for production and trace indicators, It is mainly used as the raw material for the electrolyte of sodium hexafluorophosphate, which is now in the early stage of research and development. Battery grade sodium fluoride is used as the raw material to prepare sodium hexafluorophosphate, replacing the existing lithium hexafluorophosphate solution, which has lower cost in application.
