EC 232-188-7
Also known as fluorite and fluorspar.
UL validates Fomblin Y as circular; ~40% of allocated fluorine comes from post‑industrial recycled HF, yielding 25% recycled content via mass balance, with investment at Spinetta Marengo to boost recovery.
Mass-balance allocation applied to AFLAS FFKM; product offers strong chemical/heat/plasma resistance for semiconductor seals. Part of effort to recycle plant fluorine waste and advance circularity.
AGC uses recycled fluorite in PTFE resin, enhancing quality for reuse. Aims to expand recycling in fluorine products, supporting sustainability and circular economy goals.
US$150m investment to build a 40 kt/year AHF plant in Aurora (NC); startup H1 2022; half output to fluoropolymers, rest to low‑GWP fluorogases; uses phosphate‑derived fluoride.
