The importance of these products:

Aluminium fluoride is an important additive in the production of aluminium metal. The Arab Gulf has become a major centre for aluminium production due to its attractive energy prices and vast energy resources.

Hydrofluoric acid is also used as intermediate product for the manufacture of fluorocarbons, such as R-134a and R-125, which are widely used in refrigeration and cooling applications, and fluorinated polymers. It is also used for petroleum alkylation, steel pickling, glass etching and production of nitrogen trifluoride.
