A mixture of liquid fluorine and liquid oxygen, used as an oxidizer in some rocket propulsion systems. The addition of fluorine to oxygen increases the specific impulse and density of the oxidizer, leading to higher performance. Flox is highly corrosive and requires specialized handling and storage due to its reactivity.
