Features

Magnesium fluoride is a powerful material that can be used to resist chemical corrosion, laser damage, mechanical shock and thermal shock. It is harder than calcium fluoride, but relatively soft compared to fused silica, and has a slight hydrolysis. It has a Nucleus hardness of 415 and a refractive index of 1.38.

Applications

Magnesium fluoride is often used as optical component materials such as ultraviolet windows, lenses and prisms.
