China and Germany are the leading exporters of Cobalt(II) fluoride, accounting for the majority of global shipments in recent years, while the United States, Japan, and South Korea represent the largest importers. Trade volumes have remained relatively stable since 2022, with modest upward pressure on Cobalt(II) fluoride prices reflecting tightening supply amid growing demand from specialty ceramics and battery material sectors.
Cobalt(II) fluoride is a crystalline, odorless solid that appears as pink to reddish-purple powder or granules. It is non-volatile, hygroscopic, and has a high melting point of approximately 1,250 °C. As an inorganic transition metal salt, it belongs to the class of metal fluorides and is typically synthesized by direct reaction of cobalt metal or cobalt oxide with hydrogen fluoride or fluorine gas. It serves primarily as a catalyst precursor and intermediate in the production of cobalt-based catalysts for organic synthesis and fluorination reactions. Its main applications are in specialty chemical manufacturing, particularly in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals and high-performance magnetic materials.
Catalyst for organic reactions.
Rose-red crystals or powder. Soluble in coldwater and hydrofluoric acid. Decomposes in hotwater. Ammine complexes can be prepared fromthe hydrate.
