Sodium Fluorosilicate
- CAS Number: 16893-85-9
- (Na₂SiF₆)
Sodium fluorosilicate (Na₂SiF₆) for industrial applications, available for immediate supply in big bags and bulk.
Description
Uses and Applications
Sodium fluorosilicate is used in the glass industry, where it serves as a component in technical formulations defined by the customer and where fluorine acts as an opacifying agent through crystal formation during cooling. It also finds application in ceramic and vitreous enamels for that same opacifying capacity, and in the chemical industry as a source of fluorine in processes that require it.
Packaging and Logistics
We supply sodium fluorosilicate in big bags and bulk, supported by agile logistics to facilitate its integration into validated industrial processes.

- Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About the Sodium Fluorosilicate
What role does fluorine play in an enamel or a glass?
What role does fluorine play in an enamel or a glass?
It acts as an opacifier. As the melt cools, fluorine compounds promote the formation of dispersed crystals that scatter light, producing a white or opalescent finish without the need for other opacifiers.
What precautions does handling require?
What precautions does handling require?
It is a fluorinated compound and must be handled in accordance with its safety data sheet, with particular attention to dust control, ventilation and personal protection during dosing operations. We provide the safety documentation together with the supply.
Is it known by any other name?
Is it known by any other name?
Yes. It appears interchangeably as sodium fluorosilicate, sodium silicofluoride or sodium hexafluorosilicate. All three names refer to the same compound, Na₂SiF₆, and share the same CAS number.
