Fluorspar

January 1, 1993

The U.S. produced 50 kt of fluorspar in 1992 and imported nearly 409 kt. Almost all the fluorspar was imported from China. The U.S. consumption of 467 kt represents the lowest level since 1958. This is due to the continuing decrease in consumption by the steel and aluminum industries.
