Metallurgical grade fluorite: is used in steel, cement, glass, and ceramics. 

Hydrofluoric acid: is used mainly for the production of refrigerant gases for air conditioning units.  

It is also used as a propellant, in the manufacture of gasoline, stainless steel pickling, in nuclear fuels, in the production of integrated circuits and Teflon, in salt fluoridation such as lithium salts used in batteries, and in sodium fluoridated salts used in tooth pastes and cleaning agents.

Refrigerantes:

Primary: Used as a transmitting agent in the refrigerating system, where they act in thermal interchange primarily in the form of latent heat. Refrigerating or cooling systems are mechanical devices that use the thermo-dynamic properties of the material to translate thermal energy in the form of heat between two or more focal points, as required. They are designed primarily to reduce the temperature of a product stored in refrigerating or cooling chambers, which can hold a variety of food products or chemical compounds, according to specifications.

Secondary: Acts in the intermediate thermal exchange between the primary refrigerant and external medium. Conducts the primary exchange in the form of sensible heat (sensible heat is the heat received by the substance, causing it to increase in temperature without changing its molecular structure and therefore its state).

Mexichem Flúor. Mexichem Flúor has two plants in Mexico:

• San Luis Potosí - Mexico: The largest fluorite producer in the world. Exports its products to Canada, the United States, South America, Europe and Japan. Annual production of metallurgical gravel is 350,000 metric tons, along with 280,000 metric tons of acid-grade concentrate.
• Matamoros - Mexico: The second largest plant in the world in terms of production capacity, at 208 million pounds a year. Exports 98% of its production to the United States. Produces anhydrous and aqueous hydrofluoric acid.
• Runcorn - United Kingdom: This is Mexichem's first commercial-scale HFC-134a production plant. In the year 2006 it made the transition to production of HFC-125. This is the largest hydrofluoric acid production plant in the world.
• St. Gabriel - Louisiana (USA). The world's largest producer of HFC-134a, supplying clients throughout the Americas and in export markets.
• Mihara -Japan: We cover the Asian and Pacific market by supplying Klea ® 134a.

Río Verde Mine and Álamos.

Two fluorite production plants that turn out acid-grade and ceramic-grade concentrates. The plants are located in Ciudad Fernández, the municipality adjoining Río Verde (San Luis Potosí) and Álamos de Martínez, in the municipality of Victoria, Guanajuato.

The Río Verde / Álamos region is not only an interesting and attractive alternative site for production of this mineral, it is also important in geological terms because of its ample evidence of fluorite mineral outcroppings. Company geologists have determined that his region is an ideal site for mining this mineral.
