Safety Information

MSDS Information

Zirconium fluoride Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties	White powder. Slightly soluble in water and hydrogen fluoride.
Uses	Zirconium tetrafluoride is used in some fluoridebased glasses. These glasses are the first chemically and mechanically stable bulk glasses to have continuous high transparency from the near uv to the mid-ir (0.3–6 μm).
Uses	Zirconium fluoride is used as a zirconium source in oxygen-sensitive applications such as metal production.
Uses	Component of molten salts for nuclear reactors.
Hazard	Strong irritant. TLV: 2.5 mg(F)/m3.
Safety Profile	Poison by intravenous route. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of F-. See also ZIRCONIUM COMPOUNDS and FLUORIDES.
