Sinter Pure
SinterPure is a high grade lime and calcium carbonate flux developed for application in iron and steel sintering and other metallurgical processes. It is extensively used in base metal smelting, non ferrous refining, ladle metallurgy and secondary steelmaking. The product helps optimise slag composition, improve slag fluidity and promote the removal of impurities. By maintaining consistent calcium levels, it contributes to stable slag chemistry and supports the production of cleaner and higher quality metal across industrial operations.
SinterPure is known for its reliability in demanding metallurgical environments, where precise reactions and chemical balance are critical. Its engineered formulation ensures strong sinter performance and efficient fluxing action during process stages. With its controlled particle size and purity, the product delivers predictable performance for large scale steelmaking and smelting facilities.
Benefits
SinterPure provides several key operational advantages across ferrous and non ferrous metallurgy.
- Enhances slag fluidity and impurity removal efficiency.
- Stabilises slag chemistry through consistent calcium composition.
- Improves sinter strength and reaction uniformity in sintering operations.
- Supports cleaner metal production with minimal residue generation.
- Offers precise dosing through calibrated particle sizing.
- Ensures uninterrupted process reliability as a dependable fluxing material.
Each of these benefits contributes to higher metallurgical efficiency, reducing production losses while improving the final metal’s physical and chemical quality. The use of high purity lime ensures smooth reactions and minimal impurities entering the molten phase, enabling steady furnace performance.
Uses
Iron ore sintering to enhance strength and metallurgical bonding.
- pH correction in effluent treatment plants
- Smelting of base metals where impurity control and slag quality are vital.
- Non ferrous metal refining operations such as copper and nickel processing.
- Ladle metallurgy and secondary steelmaking for refining molten steel and removing sulphur or phosphorus.
Custom particle sizes allow adaptability across different furnace designs and feed systems. This flexibility supports both large integrated steel plants and smaller speciality foundries with efficient flux handling and use.
Production
SinterPure is produced from high quality calcium carbonate sources with strict monitoring of chemical purity. The raw material undergoes refinement to achieve a CaCO₃ concentration between 90 and 92 percent with low silica content not exceeding 1.8 percent. It is processed into calibrated grain sizes designed for different sinter and fluxing requirements.
Through consistent production control and reliable distribution, SinterPure ensures optimal performance in every metallurgical environment, supporting process stability and sustained metal quality.

FAQs
How does SinterPure improve the sintering process?
In iron ore sintering, SinterPure acts as a flux that binds fine particles, lowers melting temperatures and promotes uniform slag formation, resulting in stronger, more reactive sinter for blast furnace use.
Can SinterPure be used in non-ferrous metallurgy?
Yes. SinterPure is also used as a flux in copper, lead and other non-ferrous smelting and refining, where it adjusts slag basicity and improves impurity capture and removal.
