• Homogeneous composition 
• Very low oxide content
• High metallic yield (close to 100%)
• High bulk density 
• Excellent preheating properties and fast melting/dissolution when added to metallurgical process
• Inert during shipping and storage
• The granule shape (deformed spherical) is excellent for raw material handling with conveyor belt, magnet, front-end loader, bin systems and scrap skip.
