Market Overview and Growth Factors:

Elemental fluorine gas is extremely toxic, corrosive, pale yellow, which can react with organic & inorganic substances. On the industrial scale, elemental fluorine is produced by the process of electrolysis of potassium fluoride and hydrogen fluoride mixture. Technological advancements in the manufacturing process of elemental fluorine in a couple of decades have led to ample availability of purge gas, thereby boosting its applications in end-user industries. Elemental Fluorine Market Size Is Expected to Register A CAGR of ~9.5% And Cross ~USD 540 Million By 2024. The key application of elemental fluorine is in making fluorides, notably sulfur hexafluoride, uranium hexafluoride, and halogen fluorides.
