Resin Coated Sand

Custom Blended
Resin Coated Sand

Being Core Makers gives us a unique perspective on manufacturing resin coated sand. We use over 60 tons of resin coated sand in our own core department every week. We want the sand to be strong, easy to work with, dust free, and consistent. We understand the significant impact that the right resin coated sand can have on the quality of your shell cores.

Kore Mart is committed to delivering exceptional results by providing custom resin coated sand blends tailored to your specific requirements. Here’s how our custom blending process sets us apart:

Trained Technicians

Our team of trained technicians possess extensive expertise in resin coated sand blending. They will carefully assess your specific requests and utilize their knowledge to prepare the perfect blend of sands, resins, and additives that align with your unique needs.

State-of-the-art Testing Lab

To ensure the highest quality standards, we have a state-of-the-art sand testing lab on-site. In this facility, we meticulously analyze each individual material used in our blends. By conducting thorough testing and analysis, we ensure that the materials meet our stringent quality criteria, guaranteeing consistent and reliable performance.

Tailored Solutions

We understand that every foundry operation has unique requirements. Our custom blending process allows us to create blends that are specifically tailored to your foundry’s needs. Whether you require specific performance characteristics, such as improved flowability, excellent surface finish, or reduced defects, we can formulate blends that address these requirements.

Small Batches

Crafting resin coated sand in small batches allows us to maintain rigorous quality control throughout the production process. Our experienced technicians closely monitor and adjust parameters to ensure consistency and adherence to the highest quality standards. This attention to detail results in resin coated sand of superior quality.

Small-batch production enables us to carefully control the resin-to-sand ratio, minimizing the presence of free resin. This is accomplished by gently allowing the lumps of coated sand to break down naturally. Competitors mechanically break down their lumps to increase production speed, but this destroys sand grains and leaves free resin dust in the resin coated sand product. Excessive free resin can lead to issues such as excessive gas formation, tooling build up, core ejection issues, poor core permeability, and reduced casting quality.

The precise control and meticulous blending of materials in small batches contribute to the production of resin coated sand with enhanced strength characteristics. The resulting sand molds and cores exhibit improved integrity and durability, allowing for the production of stronger finished products with minimized defects.

Our Offerings

Kore Mart understands the diverse needs of foundries, and we offer an assortment of resins specifically tailored to meet your unique requirements. Our meticulous approach ensures that we carefully select high-quality sands and resins during the preparation process.

Here’s a closer look at our offerings:

Sand Selection

We recognize the importance of using the right type of sand for different applications. Our selection includes different grades of round and sub-angular sands, which are chosen based on their specific characteristics and compatibility with your casting processes. Additionally, we offer specialized sands such as zircon sand and ceramic sands, which provide exceptional performance in certain applications.

Anti-Veining Additives

Minimizes veining defects in castings by improving mold surface characteristics and reducing the penetration of molten metal.

Shakeout Sand

Facilitates easier and more efficient shakeout of cores, reducing casting cleaning time and improving productivity.

Odor Masking

Manages and minimizes the generation of unpleasant odors during the core making process, creating a more comfortable working environment.

Emission Reduction

Helps reduce harmful emissions during core making operations, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and promoting sustainability.

Improved Release

Dry powder lubricants are used to enhance the release properties of the sand, allowing for increased flowability and sand compaction.
