USES
METALLURGY :
HEXACHLOROETHANE is used widely by FOUNDRY FLUX MANUFACTURERS for the production of tablets/pellets which are sold both to primary aluminium smelters and secondary aluminium smelters (foundries& extrusion units) for degassing and refining of aluminium and aluminium alloys.
DEFENCE :
HEXACHLOROETHANE is used as a major component in Pyrotechnic mixtures which are consumed for the production of Smoke Screens / Smoke Grenades (major use will be Ordnance and Ammunition Factories).
VETERINARY :
HEXACHLOROETHANE POWDER is used for making HEXA-B-VET C. This is a veterinary compound in which major component (upto 90%) is HEXACHLOROETHANE. This is fed orally to the cattle, sheep etc. for the treatment (liver fasciolae / liver fluke) of liver disease which if not cured on time, reduces the yield of milk, wool etc.
AGRICULTURE :
HEXACHLOROETHANE is used as an insecticide / pesticide for some of the crops. However there is no published data available on this subject although there are some known usages.
OTHER USES :
HEXACHLOROETHANE is used in moth repellants, in high-temperature lubricants, in organic synthesis.

PRODUCT   : TEJA COVER FLUX T-101(Covering & Drossing Fluxes)
COLOUR   : Pink
APPLICATION RATE  : 0.5 – 1.5% of Melt Weight.
DROSS TYPE  : Powdery (Dry)
MELTING UNIT  : Crucible & Electric Furnace.
ALLOY TYPE  : All Alloys except those containing more than  1% of Mg
REMARKS   : Teja Cover Flux T-101 is used for general Purpose Covering& Drossing
PRODUCT FUNCTION  :
Protects liquid metal from oxidation and also cleans the melt by absorbing oxide inclusions, its exothermicity melts down aluminium beads to return it to the molten metal.
METHOD OF USAGE  :
Half the Quantity of the Flux to be used is added at the time of melting down & the remaining quantity is added as soon as the complete charge is molten & ready for pouring till the dross becomes red & powdery. The Protective Flux cover should not be removed until the time of degassing & Grain Refining.
ADVANTAGES  : 1. Curtails Oxidation of metal which prevents melt loss.
2. Removes Oxide inclusions
3. Reduces Gas pick-up.
4. Washes out Non-Metallic Particles.
5. Gives Clear Separation of Slag & Metal.
6.. Reduces Metal content in dross.
PACKING  : Strong Polythene lined 25kgs HDPE Bags
STORAGE  : Always keep the material at dry place in Air-tight condition to avoid moisture pick-up
NOTE  :
The above given application rates and datas are approximate values only. Actual values to be arrived at shop floor depends upon the charge mix, composition of the alloy, type of the furnace and metal temperature etc.

TEJA FLUXES FOR ALUMINIUM ALLOYS

PRODUCT   : TEJA COVER FLUX T-808 (Furnace Cleaning Fluxes)
COLOUR   : White
APPLICATION RATE  : Depends upon the size & scale build up in the Furnace Walls.
DROSS TYPE  : Not Applicable
MELTING UNIT  : Rotary, Crucible & Electric Furnace.
ALLOY TYPE  : To be used on any Alloy Melting Furnace, Crucible etc.
REMARKS   : Used to remove Oxide build-up on furnace Walls.
PRODUCT FUNCTION  :
Softens Oxide build-up on furnace walls by means of chemical reaction and exothermicity.
METHOD OF USAGE  :
Sprinkle immediately over the Furnace Walls after discharge of the Molten Metal by continuously applying heat and it will soften the hard Oxide build-up on furnace walls by means of exothermic chemical reaction.Sprinkle the Flux till the complete removal of Oxide build-up over the walls of the container. At the time of softening, remove the scale by using suitable device.
ADVANTAGES  : Furnace Cleaning Flux retains the melting capacity and efficiency of the furnace by improving the life of the refractory lining while saving the fuel.

FUSED CARNALLITE, REFINING FLUXES FOR 
ALUMINIUM & MAGNESIUM BASED ALLOYS

TEJA FUSED CARNALLITE FLUX removes non-metallic inclusions, hydrogen, Sodium, calcium and lithium from liquid aluminium and magnesium alloys.

TEJA FUSED CARNALLITE FLUX is a synthetic anhydrous carnallite (KMgCl3, K2MgCl4, K3Mg2Cl7). It is produced in both fine particle and granular form, TEJA FUSED CARNALLITE FLUX reacts quickly and efficiently to remove Sodium, lithium and calcium from molten aluminium and magnesium alloys, as well as from refractory furnace linings, Sodium levels less than 1 ppm is attainable in high Mg aluminium alloys and in the castings.

TEJA FUSED CARNALLITE FLUX removes various non metallic inclusions such as Oxides, Carbides and Borides, and enhances degassing when injected.

ADVANTAGES:

TEJA FUSED CARNALLITE FLUX possesses metal refining property and protects alloys from reaction with atmosphere.
Increases the extrusion speed and die life when extruding profiles.
Reduces the number of breaks in continuous castings.
Eliminates edge-cracks when rolling high Mg aluminium alloys.
Free from fluorides, Zero fluoride emissions, HCl and particulate stack emissions below EPA emission standards for H.A.P. (USA).
It is a Non-hazardous compound.
Low melting point for rapid dispersion (<4900C)
Less hygroscopic than magnesium chloride powders.

USES:

TEJA FUSED CARNALLITE FLUX is used to remove alkali metals from molten aluminium in the melting or holding furnaces, add Refining Flux in the solid charge, or on the heel, just before adding the liquid charge. Stir the metal for effective removal of alkali metals, Hydrogen and inclusions.
TEJA FUSED CARNALLITE FLUX is used for Washing ladles and melting equipments during the manufacture of Magnesium alloys.
