FluMag®
Magnesium flux for converter, electric arch
and blast furnace.
FluMag® is a product produced from the mineral brucite to be used as a flux with a high magnesium oxide content for iron smelting and steelmaking in an oxygen converter, in electric furnace steelmaking, agglomeration and blast-furnace processes, as well as for agglomerate production.
FluMag® is a product used in steelmaking. It effectively saturates slag with magnesium oxide and ensures the required lining durability for basic-oxygen converters and electric arc furnaces.
It enhances the output and performance of blast-furnace conversion and improves the quality of iron smelting. FluMag® is used to reduce blast-furnace slag viscosity and improve its desulphurating capacity. FluMag® is one of the sources of magnesium used in producing iron-ore sinter and agglomerate.
FluMag® is manufactured from magnesium hydroxide which occurs in nature as the mineral brucite and is the mineral with the highest naturally occurring magnesium oxide content compared with other natural minerals. It is mined from our own mineral deposits, and as has a solid structure and particle size ranging from 0 to 60 mm.

FAQ: FluMag® High-Magnesium Flux for Iron and Steelmaking
Learn how FluMag® is used in converters, electric arc furnaces, blast furnaces, sinter and pellet production, and review its technical role, benefits and available specifications.
FluMag® is used as a high-magnesium flux in basic-oxygen converters, electric furnace steelmaking, blast-furnace processes, and in iron-ore sinter and agglomerate/pellet production.
FluMag® helps saturate slag with magnesium oxide, supporting the required lining durability of basic-oxygen converters and electric arc furnaces.
The page states that FluMag® helps improve blast-furnace performance and iron quality, reduce blast-furnace slag viscosity, and improve its desulphurating capacity.
Yes. FluMag® is described as one of the magnesium sources used in iron-ore sinter, agglomerate and pellet production.
FluMag® is produced from naturally occurring brucite mined from the company’s own deposits. The page describes a particle size range from 0 to 60 mm.
The page lists technological efficiency as a flux, improved steelmaking unit durability, low impurity content, lower iron and steel production cost, no CO2 emissions during smelting, and stable supply and quality from the company’s own raw-material source.
The page lists four specifications: FluMag® 10-40, FluMag® 10-60, FluMag® M 0-10 and FluMag® M52 0-20, with technical PDF documents available.
