Logas copper degasser: what it does in the melt
Logas is a copper degasser used to remove dissolved hydrogen from molten copper and copper-base alloys such as brass. Hydrogen left in the melt shows up as gas porosity in castings, which is why degassing is done before pouring. Form, grade and addition method follow the producer datasheet for the grade we quote.
Hydrogen is the usual cause of gas porosity in copper-base castings, so a degassing step ahead of pouring is a routine part of melt practice. Logas sits alongside our degassing tablets, and is usually paired with deoxidising tubes and a cover flux.
Copper and brass melts are sensitive to dissolved gases, oxide formation and dross, and the right treatment depends on the alloy and how it is melted. We source Logas alongside cover flux, granulated flux, degassing tablets and alloying tablets, so the whole melt practice can be quoted in one enquiry.
What we need to quote
- Alloy. The copper or brass grade you melt and cast.
- Furnace and melt size. Furnace type and typical charge weight.
- Treatment objective. What the treatment must achieve in your melt.
- US delivery point and Incoterm. Plant, warehouse or port of discharge.
Handling character
Handle as directed by the safety data sheet for your batch, and keep moisture away from molten metal. Full detail is in the Safety section below.

Importing into the United States
Import requirements for Logas depend on its exact composition, so we confirm TSCA Inventory status for the grade we quote and agree in writing who files any required certification before the first consignment moves.
Which party carries that duty follows the Incoterm. On FOB, CFR or CIF terms it is usually the US buyer; on DDP terms it can be the seller or its agent. Safety data sheets and labels are supplied to OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard, and transport classification is confirmed before booking.
| Item | How it works |
|---|---|
| Delivery points | Any nominated US plant, warehouse or port of discharge |
| Incoterms quoted | FOB · CFR · CIF · DDP |
| Importer of record | Agreed in writing before the first shipment |
| TSCA status | Confirmed for the quoted grade before shipment |
| Documentation | Batch COA, SDS, packing list, certificate of origin |
| Pack format | Confirmed with the producer at quotation |
Note: regional coverage describes where we deliver, not where we hold inventory. Lead time depends on producer scheduling and transit to your nominated US port — we confirm both in the quotation.
How we supply Logas
Chelora Chemicals is a supplier and sourcing partner, not a manufacturer. Consistency from lot to lot matters in a melt shop, and that shapes how we select producers on this line.
We place your order with whichever qualified producer best matches your required grade, your price point and your delivery window, and confirm US import requirements before booking.
We keep a second qualified source where we can, so a single-plant disruption does not become your production problem.
- Grade matched to your melt practice. We confirm alloy, furnace and treatment objective before we quote.
- Datasheet before you commit. The technical datasheet for the quoted grade comes with the quotation.
- TSCA status and import documents settled first. We agree who files any certification before the first shipment.
- Batch traceability to the producing plant. Full chain of custody documentation on request.
- One desk for the melt shop. Order Logas alongside cover flux, degassing tablets and master alloys.
- Trial quantities available. Qualify the product in your own furnace before a commercial order.

Follow the SDS — and keep moisture away from molten metal
Hazard classification depends on the exact composition of the grade supplied. The summary below is general melt-shop orientation only — the safety data sheet supplied with your specific batch is the authoritative document.
General precautions
PPEWear protective equipment suited to hot-metal work and to the product's SDS.AIRProvide ventilation or fume extraction where the SDS or your EHS team calls for it.DRYKeep moisture away from molten metal; wet additions can cause violent splashing.
Regulatory duties. Confirm your site's obligations, including HazCom labelling and any local rules on melt-shop additives, with your EHS team and the SDS for your batch.
Storage
Store as directed by the safety data sheet and datasheet supplied for your batch, in the original packaging and away from moisture and incompatible materials.
Handling
Follow the addition method on the producer datasheet for the quoted grade, and train operators on the SDS before first use.
Transport
Transport classification depends on composition. We confirm and document the exact classification and routing for your shipment and destination before booking.
Every batch, documented
We verify documentation before dispatch so there are no surprises at your incoming-goods bench.
Requirement agreed
Alloy, furnace practice and treatment objective confirmed against the product before order placement.
Producer batch testing
The producing plant tests each batch against the agreed specification before release.
Documentation review
COA, SDS, import data and transport paperwork checked by our desk before the shipment is booked.
Traceable dispatch
Each shipment is traceable to its producing batch, with chain-of-custody records on request.
Choosing a copper degasser
Copper and brass melts can pick up dissolved hydrogen and oxygen, form oxides and generate dross, and brass also loses zinc to volatilisation at melt temperature. A copper degasser addresses the hydrogen; oxygen is handled by a deoxidiser and surface oxides by a flux, so the products are chosen to the problem rather than used by default.
Logas is one of several melt-treatment lines we source. Related products such as degassing tablets, cover flux and granulated flux address different parts of the melt cycle, and master alloys and alloying tablets handle composition adjustment.
We do not publish operating parameters here. The producer datasheet accompanies every quotation, and any process-specific question is best confirmed with our technical desk.
