Fluorine (f) is the chemical compound that is helpful in various manufacturing units. This chemical is a powerful oxidizing agent and most reactive chemical element that readily forms compounds with most other elements including the noble gases such as krypton, xenon and radon. Atomic fluorine and molecular fluorine are used for plasma etching in semiconductor manufacturing, flat panel display production and mems fabrication. To produce low friction plastics such as teflon and freon, indirect application of this chemical is done. Along with some compound fluorine, this inorganic material is ideal in the production of pure uranium form uranium hexafluoride and in the synthesis of numerous commercial fluorochemicals, including vitally important pharmaceuticals, agrochemical compounds, lubricants and textiles. Many important agents for general anesthesia such as servoflurane, desflurane and isoflurane are fluorohydrocarbon derivatives. Some element fluorine is also used as insecticide, especially against cockroaches and are even to toothpaste to prevent dental cavity.
