Notes

Generally, F is considered to exist in its elemental form in glasses and glazes. Its presence is time-dependent, it will volatilize as F2 gas if firing is extended. Fluorine is very reactive.
Materials like Cryolite and Fluorspar present complex challenges to model the chemistry of their firing.

F2 (or perhaps F) is often listed separately in analyses from manufacturers (not included in general LOI) because the hazardous nature of this gas (produced during firing).
