Tailored mixes, based on lime and dolime, have been specially developed for ladle metallurgy processes where they act as synthetic slags.

Quicklime is required for slag formation and further sulphur elimination. Dolime is used for swift slag formation and refractory protection.

The beneficial effects of dolime in the steel refining process lead to gains in several areas. The increased process speed boosts productivity and improves iron yield. Time and productivity are also gained through the reduction in downtime for repairs and maintenance of the refractories.
