Product Description

What is Ammonium Hexafluorophosphate?

This inorganic salt pairs an ammonium cation with the hexafluorophosphate anion (PF6⁻) — the same anion family used in lithium-ion battery electrolyte salts. Its fluorophosphate content also makes it useful as a phosphorus/fluorine source in flame-retardant chemistry.

Uses of Ammonium Hexafluorophosphate

This compound is manufactured into flame-retardant cellulose-based materials, and used as a precursor for metal hexafluorophosphate complexes — particularly iridium and rhodium complexes used in photocatalysis and luminescent-material (OLED) research and manufacturing.
