Fluorochemicals are chemical compounds that contain fluorine. Fluorine is a highly reactive element and is derived from sources like fluorite (also known as fluorspar), fluorapatite, and cryolite. Fluorine has a number of desirable chemical properties like high electronegativity, and reactivity and tendency to form stable compounds, which make it appropriate for various applications in the industrial, commercial, and medical sectors. It is the most electronegative and the most reactive of all elements. Thus, it readily forms compounds with all elements except the three lighter noble gases (helium, neon, and argon). Another useful property of fluorine is its ability to form strong and stable covalent bonds with carbon, leading to the formation of fluorocarbon, which is the most important type of fluorochemicals. The addition of fluorine or its substituents improves the desirability both in qualities and structure of a wide range of substances including pharmaceutical products, plastics, elastomers, and surfactants.
