(Food-Beverage-News.Com, December 23, 2016 ) Barium Fluoride is chemically termed as BaF2 with chemical composition of barium and fluoride. Barium fluoride is a salt and water insoluble barium source that is used in oxygen-sensitive applications includes metal production. Barium Fluoride have varied range of applications in modern technologies and science, ranging from etching and oil refining to the manufacture of pharmaceuticals synthetic and organic chemistry. Barium Fluoride is also used in spectroscopic components and is commonly suitable for the passive IR band (8 to 14µm), as well as view-port window for thermography. Barium fluoride distinct crystals are cross-luminescent scintillators with short emission times, heavy, and high primary photon intensities. In addition to scintillation properties, barium fluoride is also applicable in the fabrication of optical windows transmitting radiation in the spectrum from IR to UV. Moreover, barium fluoride is required to produce BaY2F8 crystals for UV-lasers and is also appropriate for a number of instrumental environments due to its resistance to water damage.
