Product Name – Magnesium fluoride, PuratrOnic™, 99.99% (metals basis) Quantity/Pack Size – 50g, 10g, 2g Form – Powder/Crystalline Grade – PuratrOnic™ (99.99% metals basis) Application – Optical coatings, spectroscopy, high-purity synthesis
Product Overview
Magnesium fluoride (MgF₂) in PuratrOnic™ grade offers exceptional purity at 99.99% (metals basis), making it a critical material for applications demanding minimal trace impurities. This high-grade compound is synthesized under stringent conditions to ensure consistency in composition and performance. Its crystalline structure provides excellent transparency across a broad spectral range, particularly in the ultraviolet to infrared regions, which is essential for optical coatings and lens manufacturing. The material’s low refractive index and high resistance to thermal shock further enhance its utility in precision instrumentation. PuratrOnic™ certification guarantees rigorous quality control, with metals analysis confirming ultra-low contamination levels. The powder form allows for easy integration into thin-film deposition processes, while its chemical stability ensures long-term reliability in stored or operational conditions. Whether used as a standalone reagent or as part of complex formulations, this magnesium fluoride variant delivers reproducible results in sensitive analytical and industrial workflows.
FAQs
1. What is the typical particle size range for this magnesium fluoride powder?
The PuratrOnic™ grade magnesium fluoride is milled to a fine particle distribution, generally ranging between 1-10 microns, though exact sizing may vary slightly by batch. This range is optimized for uniform dispersion in optical coating applications.
2. Is this product compatible with vacuum deposition techniques?
Yes, the high purity and controlled particle size make it suitable for physical vapor deposition (PVD) and other vacuum-based thin-film processes. Pre-treatment like drying may be recommended to remove absorbed moisture.
3. Are there lower-purity alternatives available for less critical applications?
For applications where 99.99% purity is not required, standard reagent-grade magnesium fluoride (typically 98-99%) can be used. However, these may contain higher levels of metallic impurities that could affect optical performance.
4. How should this product be stored to maintain its purity?
Store in a tightly sealed container under inert gas (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent moisture absorption and oxidation. Keep in a cool, dry environment away from direct light and reactive chemicals.
5. What documentation is provided to verify the 99.99% purity claim?
Each batch includes a certificate of analysis (CoA) detailing metals basis purity via ICP-OES or ICP-MS testing, along with trace impurity profiles. Additional documentation like MSDS and lot-specific data is also provided.
