Barium Fluoride Powder Description
Barium Fluoride (BaF2) is an inorganic compound widely recognized for its rapid scintillation properties, making it effective in detecting X-rays, gamma rays, and other high-energy particles. It is also used as a pre-opacifying agent in enamel and glazing frits production, a component in welding agents, and as a molten bath medium for refining aluminum in metallurgy.
Barium Fluoride Powder Applications
- Infrared Spectroscopy Windows: BaF2 is used to manufacture windows for infrared spectroscopy instruments due to its optical transparency in the infrared range.
- Radiation Detection: Its fast scintillation makes it essential in detecting high-energy radiation such as X-rays and gamma rays.
- Preopacifying Agent: It serves as a pre-opacifier in the production of enamel and glazing frits, enhancing their opacity and quality.
