Non-Metal Halides

Salt, with its WITS form name "Halides and halide oxides of non-metals; excluding chloride," is a vital trade commodity with numerous uses and sources. This type of salt mainly includes fluoride, bromide, and iodide, which are often extracted from mineral deposits, brine pools, and seawater through various processes. These halide salts have diverse applications. Fluoride is used in dental care products, water fluoridation, aluminum production, hydrofluoric acid, and refrigerants. Bromide is employed in flame retard...

Salt, with its WITS form name "Halides and halide oxides of non-metals; excluding chloride," is a vital trade commodity with numerous uses and sources. This type of salt mainly includes fluoride, bromide, and iodide, which are often extracted from mineral deposits, brine pools, and seawater through various processes.

These halide salts have diverse applications. Fluoride is used in dental care products, water fluoridation, aluminum production, hydrofluoric acid, and refrigerants. Bromide is employed in flame retardants, agricultural fumigants, photographic materials, and sedatives. Iodide is crucial for medical treatments, animal feed supplements, and iodized table salt.

The trading of halide salts occurs through established networks and platforms, with exporters and importers engaging in direct negotiations or auctions/tenders for immediate transactions. Prices are influenced by production costs, demand, and geopolitical factors.
