PRODUCT DESCRIPTION APPLICATION BENEFITS

BENTOKOL*

BENTOKOL green sand additive is a relatively high volatile : clay ratio sand conditioner for the production of iron and SG castings.

BENTOKOL should be added in place of coal dust or other volatile additions to maintain the required levels in the sand system. Additional clay additions will be necessary to maintain wet and dry strengths.
  • Fines and dead clay reduced
  • High ratio of lustrous carbon
  • Better casting finish and definition

MOLDLOK

A system for locating and locking two halves of a chemically bonded mould together for casting without using weights or clamps.

MOLDLOK consists of two parts male and female which are positioned on the corners of the pattern. Adhesive is applied to the female locator prior to closing the mould.
  • No weighting up
  • Improved location

SLIPCOTE 5018 SLIPCOTE 118-63

Slipcote 5018 a low viscosity waxed based release agent for the separating patterns/box from all types of self set sand systems.

SLIPCOTE 5018 and Slipcote 118-63 are supplied ready for use and can be applied by brush, cloth or hand spray. After application the coating will air dry .
  • Multiple lifts from a single application
  • Suitable for all binder systems 

SLIPCOTE LC4000

A high viscosity silicone based release agent contained in an aerosol pressure pack.

Shake the can well before use, hold the can upright and spray lightly. SLIPCOTE LC4000 is suitable for all hard sand systems.
  • Ozone friendly
  • Excellent on phenolic cold set systems

SLIPCOTE AL

A low viscosity, aluminum pigmented suspension for separating patterns from hard sand moulds.

SLIPCOTE AL should be re-mixed and applied by brush or cloth directly to the pattern surface. Time should be allowed for the coating to dry.
  • Suitable for all self set binder systems
  • Multiple lifts from one application 

SEPAROL* 88

A solvent based release agent for green sand moulds which utilise new emulsion technology to give a flash point above 50°C.

SEPRATEK 50 is supplied ready for use and can be applied by brush or automatic spray equipment. One application can give up to 15 lifts before a fresh application.
  • High flash point, reduced fire hazard
  • Economical in use, multiple lifts

NORACEL M75

Ablend of natural minerals in powder form, used as an additive to silica sand for core and mould production to prevent veining.

Added to the dry silica sand by weight upto 6%. The addition rate depends on casting section thickness. Can be used with all binder systems.
  • Eliminates veining
  • Suitable for all binder systems

HARDCOTE W300G

A water based coatings for greensand moulds to stabalise the mould surface to reduce sand inclusions and improve casting finish.

Hardcote W300G for iron and non ferrous castings Supplied ready for use , for spray application
  • Reduces sand casting defects
  • No drying of the coating
  • Improves casting surface finish

CORESTICKER

A silicate based air setting adhesive for joining moulds and cores.

CORESTICKER is applied with a brush or knife to each joint face and the two halves are then pressed firmly together. The application of heat will speed up the setting
  • In expensive, ready for use
  • High ultimate strengths

CORFIX* 10

A PVA acrylic based air setting cement for bonding sand moulds and cores hot or cold. CORFIX 10 is supplied in a plastic sausage which is applied with a barrel gun applicator.

CORFIX 10 is supplied ready for use and can be applied easily from the barrel gun to moulds or cores and when pressed firmly together give excellent green strength and high ultimate strengths.
  • Easy to apply, fast setting
  • Low shrinkage on setting

CORFIX* 9 TUBE

A silicate based, air setting glue for bonding sand moulds and cores supplied in a cartridge.

CORFIX 9 is applied directly to the mould or core face and pressed firmly together.
  • Low shrinkage on setting
