Gallium fluoride is a high-purity inorganic fluoride with the chemical formula GaF₃, appearing as a white crystalline powder under normal conditions. Characterized by its high melting point, chemical stability, and corrosive properties toward glass and quartz, it serves as a critical fluorine source and precursor material for producing specialty optical glass and synthesizing wide-bandgap semiconductor films (e.g., Ga₂O₃).
We offer high-quality anhydrous gallium trifluoride powder in multiple purity and particle size specifications, supported by professional moisture-proof packaging. Contact us for samples.

Q1: Is gallium trifluoride safe to use?
A1: It is irritating. Handle with protective gear, avoiding inhalation of dust or contact with skin/eyes.
Q2: How should gallium trifluoride powder be stored?
A2: Store in a sealed, moisture-proof container in a dry environment to maintain stability and purity.
Q3: What are the primary uses of gallium trifluoride?
A3: Primarily serves as a semiconductor precursor and in the production of specialty optical glass.
Q4: Should anhydrous or hydrated gallium fluoride powder be selected?
A4: Anhydrous form is preferred for precision semiconductor processes; hydrated form may be used for certain catalysis or reactions.
