NFC

NFC in Africa

At Sourcex India, we manufacture and supply premium-quality NFC (Nozzle Filling Compound) designed for efficient and reliable performance in continuous casting operations within steel plants. NFC is a critical material used to fill the nozzle area between the ladle and tundish, ensuring a smooth and controlled opening of the sliding gate during molten steel flow. Our Nozzle Filling Compounds are formulated using high-purity refractory raw materials, providing superior thermal stability, flowability, and resistance to slag and metal infiltration.

This compound plays an essential role in preventing nozzle blockages and achieving a clean, uncontaminated flow of molten metal during casting. Its self-opening performance at the time of slide gate activation eliminates the need for oxygen lancing, reducing the risk of refractory wear, metal splashing, and process delays. We offer different grades of NFC tailored to match specific steel grades and ladle conditions, ensuring compatibility and consistent results under high-temperature and high-pressure environments.

As a leading NFC supplier and exporter in Africa, Sourcex India serves steel manufacturing units across South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Zambia. Our compounds are packed and delivered in moisture-resistant packaging to preserve shelf life and usability in diverse climates. Whether you're operating a basic oxygen furnace (BOF), electric arc furnace (EAF), or induction melting unit, our Nozzle Filling Compounds help enhance your casting reliability, reduce operational downtime, and improve overall process safety.

Our team ensures quality consistency through rigorous batch testing, and we support our clients with technical advice to choose the correct grade for specific tundish and ladle sizes. With a commitment to reliable logistics, competitive pricing, and technical expertise, Sourcex India stands out as a trusted partner for Nozzle Filling Compound exports in Africa and other international markets.
