Fluorspar (CaF2), in metspar quality.
The material comes from the Keles Mining mine in Kaman, central Anatolia.
The fluorspar is obtained in underground mining and enriched on site.

    FLUORSPAR​

​

  • Fluorspar is the most important and most common fluorine mineral. It consists of calcium fluoride with a (theoretical) composition of 51.3% calcium and 48.7% fluorine

  • Currently available are metallurgical spar grades in the grading curves 1/8mm, 8/16mm and 16/24mm with a CaF2 content of 85-90% and cement spar with a CaF2 concentration level of 30-50%

  • Metallite accounts for about 37-40% of the total fluorspar production. Its main application is in steel and stainless steel production. There it is used as a flux to lower the melting temperature, increase chemical reactivity and remove impurities in the slag.

  • Other grades are in preparation

  • The material is sold directly by Keles Mining
