The products obtained from the roomtemperature reaction of ammonium bifluoride and zirconium fluoride monohydrate are ammonium heptafluorozirconate ((NH 4 ) 3 ZrF 2 ), liquid water, and hydrogen fluoride. Ammonium bifluoride and zirconium fluoride monohydrate were reacted prior to glass batching, producing dry ammonium heptafluorozirconate which was used to prepare a high‐quality ZBLAN fluoride glass.
