Resin Coated Sand
The right resin coated sand can significantly impact the quality of your shell cores. We are committed to delivering exceptional results by providing custom resin coated sand blends tailored to your requirements.
Here’s how our custom blending process sets us apart:
Trained Technicians
Our skilled technicians possess extensive expertise in resin coated sand blending. They will carefully assess your specific requests and prepare the perfect blend of sands, resins, and additives that align with your unique needs.
Testing Lab
Quality is non-negotiable. Our on-site sand testing lab analyzes each material used in our blends. We ensure the materials meet our stringent quality criteria by conducting thorough testing and analysis.
Tailored Solutions
Recognizing the uniqueness of each foundry, we tailor our blends to your specific needs. Whether you need 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 skilled 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 allows us to control the resin-to-sand ratio carefully, 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 blending of materials in small batches contribute to producing resin coated sand with enhanced strength characteristics. The resulting sand molds and cores exhibit improved integrity and durability, producing stronger finished products with minimized defects.
Our Offerings
Sand Selection
Using the right sand for the right application. 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. We also offer specialized sands, such as zircon sand and ceramic sands, which provide exceptional performance in specific 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 for a more comfortable working environment.
Emission Reduction
Helps reduce harmful emissions during core making operations for compliance with environmental regulations and promotes sustainability.
Improved Release
Dry powder lubricants enhance the sand’s release properties, allowing for increased flowability and sand compaction.
