• Fluoride Powder Description:

1) Fluoride is the anion F-, the reduced form of fluorine. Both organic and inorganic compounds containing the element fluorine are sometimes called fluorides.

2) Fluoride, like other halides, is a monovalent ion (-1 charge). Its compounds often have properties that are distinct relative to other halides. Structurally, and to some extent chemically, the fluoride ion resembles the hydroxide ion.

3) Fluorine-containing compounds range from potent toxins such as sarin to life-saving pharmaceuticals such as efavirenz and from refractory materials such as calcium fluoride to the highly reactive sulfur tetrafluoride.

4) The range of fluorine-containing compounds is considerable as fluorine is capable of forming compounds with all the elements except helium and neon.

5) Compounds containing fluoride anions and in many cases those containing covalent bonds to fluorine are called fluorides.

• Fluoride Powder Physical Properties Available:

Lump, pieces and powder 

• Fluoride Powder Typical Applications:  

Fluorides are pervasive in modern technology, i.e., Organic synthesis, Enzyme inhibitors, Inorganic fluorides, Fluoropolymers, water fluoridation, Biomedical applications, Numerous drugs contain fluorine including antipsychotics such as fluphenazine, HIV protease inhibitors such as tipranavir, antibiotics such as ofloxacin and trovafloxacin, and anesthetics such as halothane. Fluorine is incorporated in the drug structures to reduce drug metabolism, as the strong C-F bond resists deactivation in the liver by cytochrome P450 oxidases.

• Fluoride Powder Packaging:

• Fluoride Powder TSCA (SARA Title III) Status:

1) Varies. For further information please call the E.P.A. at +1.202.554.1404

2) Fluoride-containing compounds are so diverse that it is not possible to generalize on their toxicity, which depends on their reactivity and structure, and in the case of salts, their solubility and ability to release fluoride ions.

• Fluoride Powder General Toxicity / Poisoning:

"1) Fluoride-containing compounds are so diverse that it is not possible to generalize on their toxicity, which depends on their reactivity and structure, and in the case of salts, their solubility and ability to release fluoride ions.

2) Reaction of the irreversible inhibitor diisopropylfluorophosphate with a serine protease soluble fluoride salts, of which NaF is the most common, are mildly toxic but have resulted in both accidental and suicidal deaths from acute poisoning. While the minimum fatal dose in humans is not known, a case of a fatal poisoning of an adult with 4 grams of NaF is documented. For Sodium fluorosilicate (Na2SiF6), the median lethal dose (LD50) orally in rats is 0.125 g/kg, corresponding to 12.5 g for a 100 kg adult. The fatal period ranges from 5 min to 12 hours. The mechanism of toxicity involves the combination of the fluoride anion with the calcium ions in the blood to form insoluble calcium fluoride, resulting in hypocalcemia; calcium is indispensable for the function of the nervous system, and the condition can be fatal. Treatment may involve oral administration of dilute calcium hydroxide or calcium chloride to prevent further absorption, and injection of calcium gluconate to increase the calcium levels in the blood. Hydrogen fluoride is more dangerous than salts such as NaF because it is corrosive and volatile, and can result in fatal exposure through inhalation or upon contact with the skin; calcium gluconate gel is the usual antidote.

3) In the higher doses used to treat osteoporosis, sodium fluoride can cause pain in the legs and incomplete stress fractures when the doses are too high; it also irritates the stomach, sometimes so severely as to cause ulcers. Slow-release and enteric-coated versions of sodium fluoride do not have gastric side effects in any significant way, and have milder and less frequent complications in the bones. In the lower doses used for water fluoridation, the only clear adverse effect is dental fluorosis, which can alter the appearance of children's teeth during tooth development; this is mostly mild and is unlikely to represent any real effect on aesthetic appearance or on public health."
