  1. Magnesium Fluoride MgF2 Agatha Mak F.3B (27)

  2. Physical Properties • melting point :1263 °C • boiling point: 2260 °C • physical state at room temperature: Solid • colour: white • density: 3.148 g/cm3 • solubility in water: 0.013 g/100 mL • electrical conductivity: poor Magnesium Fluoride

  3. Chemical Properties • laboratory preparation: Store in a cool, dry area. Store in a tightly sealed container. Wash thoroughly after handling. Prevent skin contact. May cause burns if moisture is present. • reactivity towards water / acid / alkali: low Magnesium Fluoride

  4. Potential Hazards Avoid Strong Acids Hazardous in the case of skin and eye contact Corrosive to eyes and skin Magnesium Fluoride

  5. Uses • In optics Lens are usually coated with a thin layer of magnesium fluoride. • Thin layers of magnesium fluoride are frequently applied to the surfaces of optical elements as part of optical coating such as anti-reflective coatings. Magnesium Fluoride

  6. Interesting Characteristics • It is transparent in wide range of wavelengths in crystalline form. Magnesium Fluoride
