Technology
A total bypass of the legacy HF route.
Our technology
FluoRok has reimagined fluorination from the ground up.
Our patented technology combines mechanical activation and base chemistry to unlock fluorine under milder, safer and more controllable conditions, creating a fundamentally different route to essential fluorochemicals.
Beyond the conventional route
HF: A manufacturing process with strong constraints.
Conventional fluorochemical production typically begins with high-purity fluorspar, which is reacted with sulfuric acid at high temperatures to produce hydrogen fluoride. HF then becomes the starting point for all downstream fluorochemicals.
High-purity fluorspar
Sulfuric acid
High temperatures
HF
All fluorochemicals
This route works. But its requirements shape the economics and complexity of the entire manufacturing process.

MECHANICAL ACTIVATION + BASE CHEMISTRY
Fluorochemicals
By combining mechanical activation with base chemistry, our process enables fluorine to be unlocked directly from input materials under milder and highly controllable conditions.
BROADER INPUTS
Lower-grade mineral sources and fluoride contained in industrial waste streams.
MILDER CONDITIONS
Mechanical activation and base chemistry instead of high temperatures and acid.
SAME PRODUCTS
Developed to meet established product specifications.
Beyond HF
Safer, more sustainable chemistry to enable simpler manufacturing.
By bypassing this route, we can reduce the complexity, infrastructure and operational burden associated with incumbent production.
Reduced
Complexity
Bypassing HF removes the hazards and complexity of producing and handling it.
Infrastructure
No HF production, containment or specialised plant.
Operational burden
Simpler handling, storage, maintenance and operating procedures.
FEEDSTOCK FLEXIBILITY
Leveraging untapped and circular fluorine raw materials.
Conventional HF production depends heavily on high-purity fluoride feedstocks, currently sourced from a handful of countries worldwide. FluoRok’s process can access fluorine from a broader range of materials.
Broader feedstock base
Lower-grade mineral sources and fluoride contained in industrial waste streams.
Greater resource flexibility
Reduced feedstock constraints, costs and geopolitical risks.
New opportunities for circularity
Circular solutions that recover value from untapped fluoride resources.
Breakthrough chemistry
built to scale.
A new chemical pathway only matters if it can work beyond the laboratory scale.
By leveraging off-the-shelf equipment, FluoRok is industrialising a rapidly scalable platform from scientific breakthrough through product validation and demonstration towards industrial-scale production.
Same products
Same products,
fundamentally different route.
FluoRok is a process innovator. We change how fluorochemicals are made, not the materials industries depend on.
Our products are developed to meet established product specifications, allowing customers to access the advantages of a new manufacturing route without changing the product they buy.
