Products in Technical Salts & Inorganics: Steel Industry

Acid Grade Fluorspar or acidspar (CaF₂), is a fine grained material composed of 51.1% calcium and 48.9% fluorine. Acidspar is generally 97% - 99.9% calcium fluoride depending on the deposits, mining techniques and processing techniques.  Fluorite, generally called acidspar, is used to make hydrofluoric acid for refrigerants, as a flux for the steel industry, in glazes, fritz and enamels for glass and ceramics industries and household items such as toothpaste.

This product is very easy to handle with a low dust content, allowing for enhanced safety during the industrial handling processes.

Elemental Sulfur 99.5% Minis is designed to provide industrial sulfur users with a very pure form of sulfur featuring excellent handling characteristics. The material is formed from pure molten sulfur using a drop forming process that results in a compacted granular product known as a “pastille” — a split pea shape with rounded edges that minimize dust creation. This manufacturing process allows Tiger-Sul Products to deliver a quality material that surpasses the requirements of even the most stringent standards in industries such as steel making, pulp and paper, malting, fruit processing, mining, and other industries requiring sulfur. This product is very easy to handle with an extremely low dust content ( < 0.5% fines at manufacturing ), allowing for maximum safety during industrial handling processes. The smaller mesh sizing allows for a premier sulfur product to be handled in a smaller pastille size vs. larger sizing elemental sulfur products.

Strontium Carbonate is a safe, white powder not to be reacted with acids except under proper supervision. It is a flux and is not very soluble in water. The ceramic industry uses it in making glazes. Many magnet manufacturers use strontium as a major key ingredient. Steel producers are a user industry too. Strontium carbonate is a weak base and is reacted with many acids to produce unique products. The most fascinating application is strontium salts used to create a bright red color in fireworks and flares.

Metallurgical Grade Fluorspar, also referred to as ‘metspar’, calcium fluoride, fluorite or CaF₂ is an essential raw material for steel producers, ceramics and chemical industries. CaF₂ is composed of 51.1% calcium and 48.9% fluorine. Metspar is about 60%-85% calcium fluoride depending on where it is sourced and what residual elements are in the deposits. Metspar is widely used in the steel making process as a fluxing agent. The fluorspar affects the slag, (a stony waste matter separated from metals during the smelting or refining of ore) by making it more fluid. Metspar, or fluorspar in general, also decreases the melting point for the raw iron ore referred to as temperature control and removes additional impurities such as sulfur and phosphorus. Fluorspar takes its name from the Latin word “fluo” which means “flow” because as it lowers the melting point of ores to make steel, the ores flow more easily. Metspar also reduces any re-oxidation (for example rusting) of the final liquid metal.

Dolomitic Quicklime is lime made from high-quality deposits of dolomitic limestone; limestone containing 40% to 44% magnesium carbonate (MgCO3).
