Potassium fluoroaluminate CAS# 14484-69-6
Stable at Room Temperature: Potassium fluoroaluminate maintains stable chemical properties under standard conditions.
Effective in Various Industries: Used in aluminum processing, ceramics, glass, and pesticide production.
Chemical Reactivity: Releases hydrogen fluoride gas when exposed to strong acids or other reactive substances.
Explosion Risk: Potential hazard if powder is suspended in the air and exposed to heat or open flames.
Potassium fluoroaluminate exhibits stable chemical properties and remains stable at room temperature. However, due to its fluorine content, it may react under certain conditions, such as when in contact with strong acids or other substances, potentially releasing hydrogen fluoride gas. If its powder becomes suspended in the air and reaches a certain concentration, it could pose an explosion hazard when exposed to open flames or high heat.
