- In addition to drugs and polymers, fluorine chemical products play an important role in materials science.
- For example, researchers use fluoride salts such as sodium fluoride and ammonium Bifluoride to modify the surface of metals and improve their corrosion resistance.
- Similarly, fluoride compounds are used as catalysts in various industrial processes
- which facilitate the synthesis of important chemicals and our ability to produce essential products such as refrigerants and lithium-ion batteries.
- In addition, the reactivity of fluorine allows its use in etching processes for semiconductor production, an integral step in the fabrication of advanced electronic devices.
