The company offers a wide range of Galvanizing Flux in the market.

The Galvanizing Flux Liquid offered by us is


available in different grades and forms including solution, fine powder, granulated and rod. Hot Dip Galvanizing
Flux is used in reaction of molten zinc and thereby controlling the formation of zinc oxides. Our galvanizing flux is
used to remove these impurities and to keep free from oxides that portion of the surface of the zinc bath at which
the steel is immersed. Besides, we are one of the prime Galvanizing Flux Powder Manufacturers in the country.

QUICK REFERENCE FOR GALVANIZING FLUXES

RECOMMENDED USE PREHEATING MAXIMUM ACTIVITY/SMOKE

The grades Flux offered are based on zinc ammonium chloride but differ in physical Form, fluxing activity and
additive content. Some grades used as molten top fluxes are available with and without foaming agents and at
differing viscosities in use. Foaming top fluxes may offer benefits to the galvanizer such as energy conservation
and reduced evolution of flumes or smoke. Also, several grades of Flux provide a choice of physical form to
accommodate specific needs which require either a small particle size or a larger rod shape.

THE GALVANIZING PROCESS


Clean, oxide-free iron or steel is galvanized by coating it with a thin layer of zinc. This protects the Iron or steel by
shielding it from the atmosphere, as well as providing catholic or sacrificial Protection. Even if the zinc coating is
scratched and the base metal is exposed, the more Electronegative zinc is slowly consumed while the iron or
steel base is protected. The most important galvanizing method used is the hot dip process which is adaptable to
the Galvanizing of nearly all types of fabricated and non-fabricated products such as wire, tanks, sheets, Strip,
pipes and tubes, fittings, hardware, wire cloth, hollow ware, and structural assemblies. Hot dip galvanizing
consists of these fundamental steps:

 Surface Preparation - The surface is cleaned, rinsed, pickled in acid, and rinsed to Remove dirt,
grease, rust and scale.

 Pre-fluxing - The work is immersed in a 15 to 25 Baume solution of Galvanizing flux. It is coated with a
layer of flux to dissolve light oxides that May have formed since pickling and also to protect against any
further Oxidation. This may then be dried and/or preheated in a furnace.
 Galvanizing - Clean, oxide-free work is usually immersed through a molten layer of Galvanizing flux into
the molten zinc. A thin coating of zinc is Formed on the base metal.
 Finishing - Excess zinc is removed; the piece is quenched and inspected.
FLUX ADDITIVE FOR GALVANISATION

SPECIAL ADVANTAGES

 Proper metal surface preparation before Zinc Coating through wetting.

 Proper Fluxing means reduction in rejections %


 Increases the solubility of powder flux hence keep the flux solution clear.
 Increases the fluidity of Flux hence
 Quick release of extra flux solution into flux tank from material.
 Less wastage of flux
 Quick drying hence reduction in spattering
 4)Less time required to dry on hot plate
 Reduction in carryover of Iron from flux tank to Zinc bath (dross formation reduction)
 Less quantity of flux, carry forwarded means reduction in ash formation.
 Overall SAVINGS in ZINC , FLUX & TIME

DESCRIPTION
Ranges of additives are especially designed for Energy conservation and environment friendly operation. FLAG
-500 works on the principle of drifting theory. Its function is to prepare the metal surface for proper Flux solution
coating. In good working condition, excess Flux solution should not be carry forwarded into Zinc bath as it causes
Zinc spattering and excessive Dross & Ash formation and uneven Zinc coating.

Special flux additive is formulated according to industrial standards to solve the above-mentioned problems.
Overall, it improves the productivity and helps in solving coating related problems by proper surface preparation in
pre treatment condition.

DOSAGE: Add 1.5 liter of FLAG -500 for every 50 Kg of Flux mix.
PACKING & STORAGE: 50 Liter HDPE cans and 205 liter Barrel Store at room temperature
SHELF LIFE : 3 Years.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
All persons handling fluxes should avoid contact with the solid materials or solutions. Do not get in eyes, on skin
or on clothing. Avoid breathing dusts, mists or fumes. Wash thoroughly after handling. Contaminated clothing
should be washed before reuse. Adequate ventilation Should be provided.

FIRST AID
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes or skin with plenty of water for a least 15 minutes while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Call a physician. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing and discards
shoes. If dust, mists or fumes are inhaled, remove person to fresh air immediately and call a physician. If
ingested, administer large quantities of water or milk. Do not induce vomiting. Never give Anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT


Wear appropriate equipment to prevent any possibility of eye contact or reasonable probability of Skin contact,
such as: chemical splash goggles, rubber gloves, boots and apron, long sleeve shirt And pants. If considerable
contact is likely, wear impervious (rubber) clothing or acid suit. Neoprene or PVC are recommended for the
rubber items and accessories. If air concentrations Exceed exposure limits, use OSHA permissible respiratory
