CRYOLITE (Na3AlF6)

Cryolite is a mineral once identified on the western coast of Greenland. The large deposit at Lvigtût was depleted by 1987. Cryolite is also known as sodium aluminium fluoride, potassium cryolite, secondary cryolite and bath cryolite, and has similar qualities to sodium aluminium Tetrafluoride (SAF).

Freebees Cryolite, due to its composition and very high quality, offers distinct performance advantages over other types of cryolite. Freebee produces Cryolite in various particle size distributions, and grain size can also be tailor-made according to customers’ requirements.
