Fluorspar Briquettes
Fluorspar Briquettes
Fluorspar briquettes are compacted blocks made from fluorspar (calcium fluoride, CaF2) fines with a binder. Steel plants and foundries use them as a flux to make slag more fluid and help remove impurities.

About Fluorspar Briquettes
Fluorspar briquettes are compacted blocks made from fluorspar (calcium fluoride, CaF2) fines with a binder. Steel plants and foundries use them as a flux to make slag more fluid and help remove impurities.
Uses and applications of fluorspar briquettes
- Steelmaking: flux in basic oxygen furnace, electric arc furnace and ladle refining to thin the slag.
- Foundries: slag fluidiser in induction and cupola melting of cast iron and steel.
- Ferro alloys: flux in some ferro alloy and secondary metallurgy processes.
- Easier handling: briquettes reduce dust and losses compared with loose fines, and feed evenly into furnaces.
Grades, forms and packing
Briquettes are supplied in standard sizes, made from fluorspar fines and a binder. CaF2 content, size, moisture and binder type depend on the lot and are shared with the quotation, along with a COA on request. Packing is in jumbo bags or HDPE bags, with trial lots for new users and regular lots for plants. We also supply fluorspar lumps and fluorspar powder if your process needs a different form.
Why buy fluorspar briquettes from Akshar Shop
- Lumps, powder and briquettes from one supplier, so you can choose the form that suits your furnace.
- GST invoice with every order, and COA and SDS shared on request.

Storage and handling
Store under cover on a dry, level surface. Keep briquettes away from rain, since moisture can weaken them and add water to the melt. Wear gloves and a dust mask while handling broken pieces, and refer to the SDS.

Frequently asked questions about Fluorspar Briquettes
Why are fluorspar briquettes used in steelmaking?
Fluorspar lowers the melting point and viscosity of slag, which helps the slag absorb impurities and separate cleanly from the metal.
What is the difference between briquettes and lumps?
Lumps are mined and sized pieces of fluorspar. Briquettes are made by pressing fines with a binder, which makes use of fine material and reduces dust.
What CaF2 content do you offer?
CaF2 content depends on the lot. We share the exact figure with the quotation and a COA on request.
Can you deliver to steel plants outside West Bengal?
Yes. We dispatch from Kolkata to customers across India. Freight is quoted based on quantity and location.
