Use

Lanthanum fluoride is used in phosphor lamp coating. Mixed with other rare earths, it is used in carbon arc electrodes and lasers. Also, the fluoride is used in the production of lanthanum metal, an intermediate step in the manufacture of high purity metal. Lanthanum fluoride, is mainly applied in specialty glass, water treatment and catalyst, and also as the main raw materials for making Lanthanum Metal. Lanthanum Fluoride (LaF3) is an essential component of a heavy Fluoride glass named ZBLAN. This glass has superior transmittance in the infrared range and is therefore used for fiber-optical communication systems. Mixed with Europium Fluoride, it is also applied in the crystal membrane of Fluoride ion-selective electrodes.
