FLOMIN™ BD

Freeze Control Agent for Cold-Weather Ore Handling

FLOMIN™ BD is a freeze control agent that forms an anti-adhesive protective film on wet ores and equipment surfaces, improving winter flowability and unloading reliability while reducing blockages, manual interventions, and cold-weather downtime.

Product Overview

What is FLOMIN™ BD designed for?

FLOMIN™ BD is designed for cold-weather mining logistics to:

  • Prevent freezing and agglomeration of wet ores and concentrates at T < 0 °C
  • Reduce sticking/adhesion on railcars, truck beds, hoppers, chutes, and conveyors
  • Maintain consistent winter material flow from pit to plant (or port)
  • Minimize winter delays, shutdowns, and safety exposure linked to manual clearing

Application

Where / How FLOMIN™ BD is typically used

  • Rail wagons & truck beds
    • Car topping: spray on the top of the loaded material
    • Side release: spray on internal walls to reduce sticking and improve discharge
  • Conveyors & transfer points
    • Spray on the ore stream or belt loading zones to prevent freezing and build-up
  • Hoppers, chutes, bins, feeders
    • Prevent frozen bridges and hang-ups that disrupt steady feeding
  • Stockpiles / storage areas
    • Treat exposed layers to limit frozen crust formation and ease reclaiming
  • Ore & concentrate types
    • Iron ore, coal, bauxite, phosphate rock/concentrates, and other wet solids prone to freezing
