Strontium fluoride - a multifunctional high-tech raw material, widely used in daily chemical industry and high-end optical fields

Strontium fluoride is a white powder belonging to the cubic crystal system with excellent chemical stability and high-temperature oxidation resistance. It is stable at room temperature and is not easily affected by air. It will only oxidize into strontium oxide when it exceeds 1000°C. In addition, strontium fluoride is soluble in water and hydrochloric acid, but insoluble in hydrofluoric acid. It has unique chemical properties and is widely used in many high-tech fields, such as daily chemical industry, optical glass manufacturing and pharmaceutical industry.
As a highly efficient additive, strontium fluoride is widely used in the production of toothpaste. Sugar, acidic substances and bacterial metabolites in daily diet can erode teeth and form the root cause of tooth decay. Through its unique chemical action, strontium fluoride can form a protective film on the surface of teeth to prevent external harmful substances from invading teeth. This protective film can not only enhance the tolerance of teeth to acidic environments, but also effectively prevent the dissolution of tooth enamel, thereby reducing the occurrence of tooth decay. Strontium fluoride has the function of promoting tooth remineralization. When the enamel of teeth is eroded by acidic substances, minerals such as calcium and phosphorus will be lost, causing demineralization of the enamel. Strontium fluoride can promote the deposition of calcium and phosphorus by reacting with minerals on the surface of teeth, thereby repairing damaged enamel and restoring the hardness and gloss of teeth. This remineralization effect can not only repair mild tooth damage, but also improve the acid resistance of teeth and prevent further corrosion.
In the field of optoelectronics, strontium fluoride is widely used to manufacture fluorescent screens and optical glass. Strontium fluoride can emit stable light after being excited and has high luminous efficiency. Compared with other common fluorescent materials, strontium fluoride has a longer luminous life and higher brightness, so it can significantly improve the brightness of the display screen, making the display effect clearer and brighter. In addition, the stability of strontium fluoride ensures that the display quality of the fluorescent screen will not be affected by the attenuation of luminous performance during long-term use. Strontium fluoride can be combined with other optoelectronic materials to adjust the color of the light, so that the fluorescent screen can present brighter and richer colors. Especially in color fluorescent screens, strontium fluoride can effectively enhance the color saturation and color consistency, making the display effect more realistic and natural. Strontium fluoride has good chemical stability and is not easily affected by environmental factors. In this way, it can ensure that the luminous efficiency of the fluorescent screen is not reduced during long-term use, extending the service life of the display.
The role of strontium fluoride in the manufacture of optical glass cannot be ignored. As a high-quality optical material, strontium fluoride can improve the transparency and optical properties of glass, so that the final product can achieve higher optical standards. Especially in the manufacture of high-end products such as high-precision optical instruments, lenses, telescopes, etc., the use of strontium fluoride can improve the refractive index, light transmittance and imaging quality of glass, meeting the requirements of the high-end market for optical precision.
Strontium fluoride is also widely used in the manufacture of laser single crystals. As a high-purity, high-performance material, laser single crystals are widely used in high-tech fields such as laser technology and precision instruments. As a key raw material for laser materials, strontium fluoride can improve the stability and output efficiency of laser single crystals and promote the development and application of laser technology. Its application in high-energy physics, lidar, and laser communications has promoted the continuous progress of high-tech industries.
In addition to its wide application in personal care and optoelectronics, strontium fluoride is also used as a raw material for pharmaceuticals and daily chemicals. In the pharmaceutical industry, strontium fluoride, as a special chemical raw material, is often used to synthesize drugs, especially in some preparations with specific pharmacological effects, which can enhance the efficacy of drugs.
In the daily chemical industry, strontium fluoride is used as an additive for detergents, skin care products and other products. It has good biocompatibility and stability, is harmless to the skin and human body, and is widely used in the production process of daily consumer products such as beauty and washing.
As a chemical, strontium fluoride has low toxicity and less harm to the environment and human body. During use, its stability and non-toxicity make it safer in various applications. In addition, the environmental protection of strontium fluoride in production and use also makes it in line with the development trend of green chemistry, which helps to promote the production and use of sustainable chemicals.
