Cryolite Powder

Washington Mills distributes a synthetic cryolite, also referred to as Sodium Hexafluoroaluminate (Na3AlF6), which closely approximates the performance of natural Greenland cryolite.

This synthetic mineral powder is used as an active filler in grinding wheels and coated abrasives, in blasting and pyrotechnics, as a welding or soldering agent, and in numerous other applications across a multitude of industries. Cryolite Powder is approximately 50 percent 8-20 microns.
