Used in nuclear reactors; [Hawley] Used to make fluoride glass, e.g., ZBLAN; [Ullmann]
Glass Manufacturing [Category: Industry]
General Manufacturing InformationZirconium fluoride (ZrF4), (T-4)-: ACTIVE
Applications
UsesZirconium tetrafluoride is used in some fluoridebased glasses. These glasses are the first chemically and mechanically stable bulk glasses to have continuous high transparency from the near uv to the mid-ir (0.3–6 μm).
UsesZirconium fluoride is used as a zirconium source in oxygen-sensitive applications such as metal production.
UsesComponent of molten salts for nuclear reactors.
