Feedstock for Calcium Hexafluorosilicate

The production of calcium hexafluorosilicate uses calcium carbonate or calcium nitrate and hexafluorosilicic acid as the major feedstock. The changes in the market dynamics of these raw materials affect its manufacturing.

The sourcing of calcium carbonate is driven by factors like raw material availability, market demand, regulatory compliance, etc. The costs and availability of its main feedstock, i.e., high-quality limestone (regional abundance, mining conditions, and energy resources affect limestone procurement), affect its production costs. The fluctuations in its demand in downstream industries like construction, pharmaceuticals, food & beverages, plastics, paints, etc., affect its availability. Regulatory and sustainability requirements for food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade calcium carbonate require strict compliance with quality and environmental standards that affect its procurement strategies.

Calcium nitrate can also be used in place of calcium hydroxide (in the production of calcium hexafluorosilicate). The costs and availability of its main feedstocks like ammonia (ammonia is derived from natural gas, and fluctuations in gas prices affect its sourcing) and limestone (the sourcing of limestone depends on mining conditions and transportation logistics) affect production costs. The changes in its demand in downstream industries like fertilizers (agriculture and horticulture), water and wastewater treatment, construction, etc., affect its availability.

Hexafluorosilicic acid is another major feedstock used in the manufacturing of calcium hexafluorosilicate. The costs and availability of its main feedstocks like phosphate rock (phosphate rock mining is regionally concentrated and affected by geopolitical tensions, extraction challenges, and supply chain disruptions) and sulfuric acid (sulfuric acid supply depends on industrial by-product streams and transportation logistics) impacts its production costs. The fluctuations in its demand from downstream industries like water fluoridation, aluminum processing, ceramics, and chemical manufacturing affect its availability. It is highly corrosive and requires regulatory and safety requirements for handling, transporting, and storing, which adds up to its procurement.
 

Market Drivers for Calcium Hexafluorosilicate

The calcium hexafluorosilicate market is driven by its growing demand as a flotation agent in the mining industry. Its utilization in the dental care industry, along with rising awareness of oral health, contributes to its market growth. Its usage in making fluoride-based preventive products, as it helps in enamel remineralization and cavity prevention, makes it a popular product. Its utilization as an insecticide in the wood, rubber, and textile industries fuels its demand. Its usage in agriculture for pest control and in ceramics and construction materials for better durability further contributes to its market growth.

In North America, widespread water fluoridation programs and strong dental health initiatives, along with established metal treatment and textile industries, drive its market. Asia-Pacific region leads because of government support for fluoridation, rapid infrastructure development, and expanding chemical and textile sector.

Labor costs include staffing for operations, quality control, and equipment maintenance. It also includes maintenance costs for equipment like dryers, crystallizers, scrubbers, and filtration systems. Waste management costs include neutralizing acidic residues and treating effluent streams before discharge. Additional operational expenses involve product packaging, storage, transportation, and administrative overheads.
 

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Calcium Hexafluorosilicate manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Calcium Hexafluorosilicate manufacturing.

• From Calcium Carbonate or Calcium Nitrate and Hexafluorosilicic Acid: The feedstock for this process includes calcium carbonate or calcium nitrate and hexafluorosilicic acid.

The manufacturing process of calcium hexafluorosilicate involves a reaction between calcium carbonate or calcium nitrate and hexafluorosilicic acid. In this reaction, the calcium source reacts with hexafluorosilicic acid to form calcium hexafluorosilicate.  The reaction takes place under controlled conditions to obtain better yield and purity. The product is separated and purified to get pure calcium hexafluorosilicate as the final product.
 

Properties of Calcium Hexafluorosilicate

Calcium hexafluorosilicate has the molecular formula of CaSiF6 and a molecular weight of 182.15 g/mol. It is a colorless, crystalline powder with a tetragonal structure, and it has a density of 2.25 g/cm³. It is slightly soluble in cold water and insoluble in organic solvents like acetone. It is stable under normal conditions but can decompose at high temperatures or in acidic environments to release fluoride ions. It shows moderate toxicity, with an oral LD50 of 250 mg/kg in guinea pigs. All these chemical and physical properties make it useful in wood, rubber, and textile industries, as well as in dental care products.
