OPTA offers a diverse product portfolio of molten solutions serving the iron, steelmaking, foundry, aluminum and copper industries. Our unparalleled metallurgical expertise has enabled us to become the world leader in iron desulfurization, slag conditioners and tundish fluxes.
From tap to cast, we have the products and expertise to be your one source for all metallurgical needs.
Quality Products. Exceptional Service.
Innovation and value are the cornerstones of our product approach. As an industry leader in research and development, OPTA anticipates evolving market needs.
We custom-engineer a wide range of solutions for steel making and foundries. When it comes to service, we’re much more than just a supplier. We are a trusted partner working alongside you to achieve optimal results.
Opta specializes in bulk and pre-packaged fluxes and insulators for the metallurgical industries.
The chemistry and packaging of OPTA products are completely customizable and often specifically designed for each customer by technical experts. Many producers try to blend their own fluxes and bucket fluxes into their furnaces with varying application rates, which can result in poor performance, low recovery, and increased consumption/cost. Opta’s pre-packaged or bulk fluxes deliver consistent material chemistries and application rates, which can improve performance, decrease cost, and reduce refractory wear.
- Stop hand-blending your own formulas.
- Stop sacrificing refractory performance for aluminum quality.
- Decrease your flux consumption by choosing fluxes specifically designed to optimize aluminum quality and refractory performance.
