Fluorite (Fluorspar)
Acid & Metallurgical Grade
Quick Answer
What is Pakistan Fluorite (Fluorspar)? Fluorite (Fluorspar) sourced from Pakistan is a high-grade industrial mineral known for its premium quality, specifically acid & metallurgical grade. Indus Minerals exports this material in bulk via Karachi Port to markets including Europe, USA, Japan, Germany, Spain.
Pakistan produces some of the highest purity Fluorite in the region, primarily from the Loralai and Kalat districts. We supply both Acid-grade (Acid-spar) for chemical and aluminum production, and Metallurgical-grade (Met-spar) used as a vital flux in steelmaking. Our fluorite is characterized by its high CaF2 content and low silica.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Acid-grade and Metallurgical-grade Fluorspar?
Acid-grade fluorspar (>97% CaF2) is highly refined for chemical applications like hydrofluoric acid production. Metallurgical-grade (typically 75-85% CaF2) is used as a flux in steelmaking to lower the melting temperature and remove impurities.
