Lump lime of KFN

Lump lime for the production of high-grade steel

In the production of quality steel, our industrial customers bank on our specially processed lump lime. It has been used for decades to remove impurities from high-grade steel types.

For high-grade steel

Many of our good ideas have their origins from our intensive dialogue with our customers. This is also true for our sieved, very pure fine lump lime nekafer® 15. Used as an alkaline aggregate, this highly pure calcium oxide from KFN serves to remove impurities from molten steel. Lump lime binds sulphur, phosphorus and manganese, inter alia.
