Judging from the various links, it can be applied both in the mass of the melt (from where it will rise to the surface), primary function being the removal of impurities, or directly to the surface, the primary function being the formation of a protective cover. In both cases, the secondary functions still apply as well.

thermal loss insulator


Explanation:
Application and Function: This product is a granular particle manufactured by atomizing drying technology. Covering the surface of molten steel in tundish, it plays an important role in insulating thermal loss, preventing secondary oxidation and absorbing non-metal inclusion in the molten steel.
The product Brand No.TDHJ-775 is a high MgO content covering flux, with high thermal insulating ability and nice spreading function. The specific consumption of the product is 0.65kg/t steel.
The products Brand Nos.TDHJ-1 & TDHL-SLC are high CaO content covering fluxes manufactured by pre-melted materials, they have good thermal insulation abilities, inclusion absorption and nice spreading function. The specific consumption of the product is 0.35kg/t steel.
