COVERAL® 55 Skimming Flux for Aluminium Alloys

COVERAL 55 is a blend of pure mineral salts designed to respond to the new requirements of most environmental protection agencies seeking for low stack emission industrial practices. COVERAL 55 is a skimming flux suitable for all types of aluminium alloys with the exception of aluminium-magnesium alloys where a sodium free flux is required (COVERAL 66).

COVERAL 55 produces ash-like dross that easily separates from the liquid metal; skimming is thus facilitated and melt loss due to aluminium entrapment in the dross is reduced.

COVERAL 55 has the general characteristic of Pyrotek exclusive fluxes as follows: emissions of gaseous HF is well below the environmental limit values.

Advantages

  • Reduces melt loss without ignition of the dross
  • Metal content in the dross can be reduced from 85% to less than 50%
  • Uniform composition
  • Reacts at 680°C (1256°F)
  • Wall cleaner if applied on the walls
  • Can be injected through Pyrotek’s FIF-50
