Fluorination Technology

The fluorination expertise Dow AgroSciences developed covers wide range of patented processes on fluorination of Pyridines and Picolines. They are:

  • Vapor phase catalyzed fluorination
  • Liquid phase catalyzed fluorination
  • Halex exchange reactions

We can fluorinate with either hydrogen fluoride or potassium fluoride.

In order to obtain high quality intermediates of 98% or better purity, we distill the desired products.

Our emphasis on safety always comes first when handling HF and fluorinated pyridines. Our know-how on reactor technology, materials of construction, process control, process modeling and waste management is second to none.
