Calcium Fluoride
Calcium Fluoride (Product Code: SCI-507/218) is an analytical reagent grade ionic compound, the chemical that forms the mineral fluorite, used to teach crystal structure, low-solubility salts and fluoride chemistry in college and senior school laboratories. It is supplied as a 100 g pack with its MSDS for institutions stocking educational laboratory equipment in India. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is Calcium Fluoride Used For?
Calcium fluoride gives its name to the fluorite structure, in which each calcium ion sits among eight fluoride ions and each fluoride among four calcium ions. Showing students a real sample next to a lattice model helps them connect formulas, ion ratios and coordination numbers in ionic bonding lessons. Its very low solubility in water also makes it a clear example when teaching solubility products.
Beyond the classroom, fluorspar is used as a flux in metal smelting and as a raw material for fluorine compounds, useful context alongside other lab equipment for college chemistry and metallurgy courses. Never heat calcium fluoride with concentrated sulphuric acid in a teaching lab, because that reaction releases hydrogen fluoride, an extremely dangerous gas that etches glass. Handle the powder with gloves and goggles, avoid breathing dust and follow the MSDS.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited supplies Calcium Fluoride under its ScienceLab trading name, together with the molecular models and glassware used in structure and solubility lessons. Buyers completing vendor forms can quote the supplying company's GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and its Legal Entity Identifier, LEI 3358004HRD1JIVXKYX49. The company is based in Ambala, Haryana; see the ScienceLab profile page.

Structure and solubility lessons built around Calcium Fluoride often include these items:
- Molecular Model, Pre-assembled, Calcium Fluoride — shows the fluorite lattice the salt is named for.
- Calcium Chloride 200g — a very soluble calcium salt to contrast with the fluoride.
- Porcelain Mortar with Crusher — grinds samples finely before solubility comparisons.
- Chemical Balance — weighs equal masses of salts for side-by-side solubility tests.
- Safety Goggles — protects the eyes from fine powder during grinding.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Calcium Fluoride used for in teaching laboratories?
Calcium Fluoride is used to teach the fluorite crystal structure, ionic bonding ratios and the behaviour of salts with very low solubility. College courses also use it as context for fluorspar's role as a metallurgical flux and as a raw material for fluorine chemistry.
Is Calcium Fluoride the same as fluorite?
Calcium Fluoride is the chemical compound that makes up the natural mineral fluorite, also called fluorspar. This listing (SCI-507/218) is a 100 g analytical reagent grade laboratory chemical with MSDS rather than a mineral specimen; ask us if you need natural crystals instead.
Why is Calcium Fluoride almost insoluble in water?
Calcium Fluoride has a very strong lattice between small, highly charged calcium ions and fluoride ions, and hydration does not release enough energy to break it apart. Only a tiny amount therefore dissolves, which makes it a good solubility-product example.
Is it safe to react Calcium Fluoride with acids?
No. Heating Calcium Fluoride with concentrated sulphuric acid releases hydrogen fluoride, an extremely toxic and corrosive gas that also etches glass. This reaction should not be carried out in school or college teaching labs; use the salt for structure, solubility and observation work as the MSDS advises.
What is the shelf life of Calcium Fluoride?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed figure is quoted for Calcium Fluoride. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep it sealed in a dry cabinet away from acids.
How can institutions order Calcium Fluoride in bulk?
Institutions and dealers can order Calcium Fluoride in multiples of the 100 g pack for delivery in India and international markets. Send the number of packs, the destination and any vendor-registration forms, and Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, will reply with a quotation.
