Fluorspar

Fluorspar - also known as fluorite - is an indispensable raw material for industry. In metallurgy, chemistry and glass production, it ensures reaction control, purity and thermal stability. Invisible in the end product - but crucial for the process.

We deliver what keeps processes running smoothly

Whether in the melting of metals, the production of specialty glasses or as a starting material for fluorochemicals - fluorspar is a key material for demanding processes.

It lowers melting points, improves flow behavior and enables precise chemical reactions.

We supply industrial partners throughout Europe with high-quality fluorspar - in exactly the quality that their processes require.

Reliable, traceable, ready for use.

Fluorspar in figures - 2024

01

Global demand for fluorspar is over 8 million tons per year, primarily for steel production, aluminium processing, glass and chemicals.

02

Important producing countries are China, Mexico, South Africa, Mongolia and Spain.

03

Fluorite is also the starting point for the production of hydrofluoric acid (HF) - an essential raw material for semiconductors, batteries and PV modules.

04

The German Commodities Group procures fluorspar in acid and metallurgical quality, tailored to the respective industry sector.

Purity for industrial processes

We supply fluorspar as a concentrated raw material, granulated or ground, depending on the intended use.

Our customers are metallurgy companies, glass manufacturers, chemical companies and component manufacturers throughout Europe.
We ensure that your processes run smoothly.
