The major use of sodium hexafluorosilicate and fluorosilicic acid is as fluoridation agents for drinking water. Both chemicals are also used as a chemical intermediate (raw material) for aluminum trifluoride, cryolite (Na3AlF6), silicon tetrafluoride… Other applications for sodium hexafluorosilicate include its use in enamels/enamel frits for china and porcelain, in opalescent glass, metallurgy (aluminum and beryllium), glue, ore flotation, leather and wood preservatives, and in Insecticides and rodenticides.

In the U.S.

• The major use is as a fluoridation agent for drinking water. It is also used as a List 3 inert and as a wood preservative.

• Pesticides containing sodium fluosilicate have been canceled. They were used to control ectoparasites on livestock, as well as crawling insects (roaches etc.) in homes and work buildings. Also was used a mothproofing agent.

PHASE-OUT OF USE: The US EPA in January 2011 announced that it agreed with “all” of the objections for the use of sulfuryl fluoride submitted by FAN, EWG and Beyond Pesticides. At the same time they announced a phase-out of the use of sulfuryl fluoride. The pesticide industry reacted with comments that it would suffer financial hardship if the phase-out were to happen. The last date for public comments on the issue was July 30, 2012.
