Elemental Analysis - Fluorine (F)

Fluorine is a very pale yellow-green, dangerously reactive gas. Of all the elements, fluorine is the most reactive and attacks all metals rapidly. Steel wool catches fire when exposed to fluorine.

There was no commercial fluorine production until the Second World War. However, during the development of the atomic bomb and other nuclear energy projects, fluorine production became mandatory. Prior to this, fluorine salts, known as fluorine, were used for welding and frosting glass.

Fluorine is used to make uranium hexafluoride, which the nuclear power industry needs to separate uranium isotopes.

In addition, fluorine is used in many fluorochemicals, including solvents and high-temperature plastics such as Teflon. Teflon is known for its non-stick properties and is used in pans. It is also used in cable insulation and waterproof shoes and clothing.

Fluoride is an essential ion for animals that strengthens teeth and bones. In some areas it is added to drinking water. Fluoride is also added to toothpaste.

A human body contains about 3 milligrams of fluoride. More than that is toxic. Elemental fluorine is highly toxic.

Flor, ground It is the thirteenth most common element in the crust.

In the tests and analyzes carried out in our organization, which has a wide range of technological equipment, trained and experienced staff and applies the most modern methods, national and international standards and legal regulations in force are complied with. Among the numerous tests carried out in this context, there are also fluorine (F) testing services within the framework of elemental analysis.
