Safer chemistry.
Better economics.
The new foundations of fluorochemical manufacturing.
Fluorochemicals are critical to strategic industries, including lithium-ion batteries, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, yet their production depends on highly hazardous hydrogen fluoride (HF). FluoRok’s technology bypasses HF entirely, delivering safer manufacturing, more flexible raw materials and lower infrastructure costs.
CRITICAL FOR DAILY LIFE
Fluorochemicals are
critical for our daily lives.
Fluorochemicals are all around us. They are central to some of the world’s most critical industries, from lithium-ion batteries to pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and advanced industry.

A problematic legacy route
A hazardous, unsustainable and capital-intensive 250-year-old route is the only way to fluorochemicals.
For over 250 years, fluorochemical manufacturing has relied on the same fundamental process for unlocking fluorine from natural resources.

A LEGACY PROCESS WITH THREE FUNDAMENTAL CONSTRAINTS
The HF route creates an intrinsic major barrier to establishing new fluorochemical production.
FluoRok changes the fundamentals
of fluorochemical manufacturing.
The new foundations
Our patented technology uses mechanical activation and base chemistry instead of high temperatures and acid to unlock fluorine from fluoride sources through a milder, safer and more controllable process.
Safer chemistry. Better economics.
The safety, complexity and economics of fluorochemical manufacturing are closely connected. By bypassing the conventional HF route, FluoRok can reduce the process and infrastructure burden associated with incumbent production - creating safer, less capital-intensive and more cost-competitive manufacturing.
Safer chemistry
Bypassing the conventional HF route reduces the hazards and complexity associated with producing, handling and storing HF.
Better economics
A simpler manufacturing route and drastically lower infrastructure removes capital and operational barriers associated with fluorochemical production.
Greater feedstock flexibility
FluoRok’s technology can access fluorine from a broader range of sources, including lower-grade mined materials and fluorine-rich industrial waste streams.
Resilient production
Changing the economics and infrastructure requirements of production creates the potential to establish fluorochemical manufacturing across locations around the world, closer to the industries that depend on it.
Solutions
One platform. Multiple solutions.
FluoRok is building a manufacturing platform for fluorochemicals, not a technology around a single end market. Our entry points address three fast-growing, established, high-value markets where we can create immediate value.
