Lime in the iron & steel industry
Lime is a material of utmost importance in the different steps of the steel manufacturing process within the steel industry; It is used as a flux and slagging agent. Grupo Calidra has different specialized products to improve the purity and quality of iron & steel.
PARTICIPATION OF LIME IN THE STEEL WORKS
The use of lime is essential to create excellent quality materials. Our specialized steel products act as an antidote to impurities, helping to clean the steel and protecting the refractories. In addition, it helps to improve the productivity of the furnace since it enhances the refractory life. In the same way, it cleans the steel, ensuring a lower number of impurities and a lower volume of slag, providing a better environment in the iron & steel industry.
SPECIALIZED PRODUCTS FOR THE IRON & STEEL INDUSTRY
Oxid, captures sulfur, silica, and phosphorus to improve the quality of steel.
Oxid de Bajas Pérdidas, it is specially designed for low carbon steels, its carbonate contribution is minimal, it reacts better and enhances the purification of the steel.
Dolocal, it is the best option to protect and increase the life time of the refractory in the slag formation zone, this reduces costs and increases productivity; It is a product of great purity and reactivity.
Dolocal Insuflado, it protects the refractory of the melting furnace more efficiently due to the control of particle size and purity, allowing greater savings and faster casting. In addition, it prevents blockages in the inflation system.
