• laboratory preparation:
Store in a cool, dry area.
Store in a tightly sealed container.
Wash thoroughly after handling.
Prevent skin contact.
May cause burns if moisture is present.
• reactivity towards water / acid / alkali:
low
Avoid Strong Acids

• In optics
Lens are usually coated with a thin layer
of magnesium fluoride.
• Thin layers of magnesium fluoride are
frequently applied to the surfaces of
optical elements as part of optical coating
such as anti-reflective coatings.
• It is transparent in
wide range of
wavelengths in
crystalline form.
