Derivados del Flúor (DDF) is the European leader in the field of manufacturing and distribution of inorganic fluorochemicals, due to its capacity, know-how and expertise.

Back in 1947, it started as a division of Minerales y Productos Derivados S.A. (MINERSA), and it was in 1967 that it became an independent company. DDF is now part of MINERSA mining Group, one of the main worldwide fluorspar producers and from which DDF sources this strategic raw material for the production of Hydrofluoric acid. Consequently, MINERSA Group benefits from a vertical integration, from mining to manufacturing and distribution of inorganic fluorochemicals.

The strategic location of the plant in Ontón (Cantabria, North of Spain), close to the port of Bilbao and within easy reach of the railway and highway network, means that DDF is perfectly communicated with Europe and has the best logistic conditions to export all over the world.

Major uses of DDF products are essential for daily life, such as: refrigeration, air conditioning, special polymers for the chemical industry, waterproof and breathable fabrics (i.e. Teflon®,Gore Tex®), aluminium, glass etching, solar cells, semiconductors, glass tableware, nuclear industry, lead free petrol, stainless steel, etc.
