FLOFORM™ is a high-performance organic binder that creates strong, porous and pure agglomerates at low dosage, improving pelletization, cold bonded briquetting, sintering, recycling, and heap leaching performance while reducing impurities, slag generation, energy demand, and CO₂ footprint.
Product Overview
What is FLOFORM™ designed for?
FLOFORM™ is designed to bind fine mineral particles into mechanically stable agglomerates while preserving good quality and process stability.
Beyond agglomeration performance, FLOFORM™ plays a key role in sustainable metallurgy and mineral processing. Its organic nature enables lower binder dosage, reduced slag formation, and improved metal content, while supporting process routes that minimize thermal treatment, fuel consumption, and CO₂ emissions. FLOFORM™ also facilitates the recycling of fines, residues, and biocarbon-based materials, contributing to circular resource use.

Application
Where / How FLOFORM™ is typically used
FLOFORM™ is used as an organic binder for pelletization, producing strong, clean pellets suitable for blast furnace and direct reduction routes.
In the new paradigm of green steel, FLOFORM is very useful for producing cold bonded agglomerates (briquettes and pellets), thereby contributing to a significant reduction in CO₂ emissions. Indeed, the use of FLOFORM makes it possible to skip the sintering stage in the production of pellets or sinter.
It is also applied in recycling and biocarbon agglomeration, enabling the recovery of fines and residues into high-value feedstock with reduced environmental impact.
In sintering, FLOFORM™ improves granulation and bed permeability, supporting productivity gains and reduced reliance on mineral additives. The product is additionally used as an organic binder in heap leaching, where agglomerate strength and permeability are essential for uniform solution percolation and metal recovery.
Across these applications, FLOFORM™ enables efficient agglomeration while supporting lower emissions, reduced waste generation, and improved process sustainability.
