• Magnesium Fluoride Powder Description & Properties:

1) Magnesium fluoride (MgF2) is a white crystalline salt composed of one magnesium ion and two fluoride ions, and is used in the electrolysis of aluminium ore and anti-reflective coatings. It is a tetragonal, birefringent crystal.

2) Magnesium fluoride is transparent over an extremely wide range of wavelengths. Windows, lenses, and prisms made of this material can be used over the entire range of wavelengths from 0.120 µm (vacuum ultraviolet) to 8.0 µm (infrared). Source: Wikipedia
