General comment Cryolite is a mineral typically used in the aluminum smelting process as a flux to lower the melting point of other compounds. It is often synthetically produced for industrial use. It is characterized by its role in the Hall-Héroult process, compliance with relevant industrial standards, high quality, and specific technical specifications. Cryolite is generally used in production rather than consumed directly and is available 'at plant' for use in aluminum production facilities.
