Reasonably safe handling techniques for fluorine are now available and one can transport liquid fluorine by the ton. Compounds of fluorine with noble gases such as xenon, radon, and krypton are known. Strange Matter cartoon included by kind permission of Nick Kim at the University of Waikato , New Zealand. Here is a brief summary of the isolation of fluorine. It would never be necessary to make fluorine gas in most laboratories.
Fluorine is available commercially in cylinders but is very difficult to handle.
The electrolyte is corrosive, so is the product. Grease must be avoided because of the fire hazard. It is difficult to store as it reacts with most materials but steel and Monel metal containers may be used as the metal surfaces deactivate through the formation of unreactive surface fluorides.
