FAQ

Nozzle Filling Compound Questions

Can you optimize for different bore sizes?

Yes, we tune PSD and blend chemistry for specific bore configurations and ladle practice.

Will this reduce lancing events?

Our target is to improve free opening reliability and reduce lancing frequency when used correctly.

Do you support trial observation?

Yes, we support trial feedback loops to tune performance for your process conditions.
