Headquartered in Jiaozuo in Henan province and listed on the Shenzen Stock Exchange, the company mainly provides cryolite, anhydrous aluminum fluoride, anhydrous hydrofluoric acid and lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF[subscript]6 ), among other products, for the aluminium industry.

This year, the company's aluminium fluoride output is expected to remain stable, although for some specific markets where demand is weaker, Do-Fluoride may cut its production.
