fluorine is used for multiple things such as:
producing uranium
producing many chemicals, incl. several high-temp. plastics
topically applied fluoride (toothpaste and dental rinse) reduces dental caries

HF is an acid that readily dissolves oxides and silicates and can be an effective etching and cleaning agent.
chlorofluorocarbons have widely been used as refrigerants, although they are less frequently being used now due to their ozone depleting properties.
Hydrofluorocarbons such as 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane (R-134a) continue to be used in refrigeration.
Pentafluoroethane (R-125) is used in both refrigeration as well as fire suppression systems.

∙ 14y agoFluorine is primarily used as a supplement in toothpaste and municipal water supplies to strengthen teeth. Hydroxylapatite, Ca5(PO4)3(OH), is the mineral that makes up enamel, and the negatively charged OH group is easily recombined with the positive H ion in the acidic environment of the mouth. Fluorine, which in solution produces the negative F ion, bonds readily to the positive Ca5(PO4)3 ion and forms a harder, less soluble crystal layer on teeth, preventing acid wear and cavities.
another is that it is used in rocket fuelsWiki User
