Product list

Potassium Chloride

In the aluminum, steel, and zinc industries, potassium chloride (KCl) is often used as a fluxing agent during the smelting and refining processes. It helps to lower the melting point of metal ores and improve the fluidity of the molten metal, which facilitates the separation of impurities and enhances the efficiency of metal recovery. By promoting better slag formation and reducing oxidation, potassium chloride aids in producing high-quality metals with improved purity and performance. Its role in optimizing metallurgical processes makes it an essential additive in these industries.

Magnesium Oxide

Magnesium oxide (MgO) is utilized in the aluminum, steel, and zinc industries as a refractory material and a slag conditioning agent. In aluminum production, it is used to line furnaces and crucibles due to its high melting point and thermal stability, providing insulation and protection against corrosive molten metal. In steel and zinc production, magnesium oxide helps to neutralize acidic impurities in the slag, promoting better metal recovery and enhancing the quality of the final product. Its effectiveness in improving the durability of refractory linings and optimizing metallurgical processes makes magnesium oxide a vital component in these industries.
