FLUXES – ECONOMICAL AND EFFICIENTOur fluxes are mainly used in hot dip galvanising for thepretreatment of steel surfaces. They are also neededfor the pretreatment of metals before soldering andwelding. We can offer to our customers a completerange of standard, acid-buffering and low-fume fluxes.We have added an iron-precipitating flux to our productrange: TIB Flux Ferrokill (“extra strong” version = TIB FluxFerrokill ES). This patented flux was specially developedfor the requirements of our customers. TIB Flux Ferrokillis an acid-buffering universal flux for the hot dip galvanisingprocess. Ferrokill is different from all other knownfluxes in its characteristic to autonomously oxidise unwantediron enrichments and to precipitate the accumulatediron as iron hydroxide sludge. Consequently, ourcustomers can remove, on site, undesirable iron fromthe flux bath by simple filtration.Our fluxes are produced as free-flowing powder andpacked in reclosable steel drums containing amounts of200–300 kg, depending on the composition of the product,or in plastic bags with 25 kg of the product. Fluxescan be stored in the drums for long times without qualityloss. If requested, certain fluxes can also be manufacturedas ready-made solutions and supplied in streettank cars or IBC.As an additional service, we can offer to our customersthe recycling or the reconditioning of their used fluxbaths, filter dusts, zinc rich stripping solution and zincashes. The necessary analyses for the control of the fluxbaths are performed in our analytical laboratory.
