Market or Application: Foundry Core

Foundrytec 708

Foundrytec 708 is an amber coloured, polyamide-based hot melt adhesive designed for bonding sand cores in the foundry industry. Foundrytec 708 has class-leading heat-resistance and allows finished cores to be oven dried at much higher temperatures.

When compared to Foundrytec 705, Foundrytec 708 has a lower viscosity for tighter joins between core pieces and a shorter open time leading to faster formation of the overall bond.

Foundrytec 301

Foundrytec 301 is a pale-amber hot melt adhesive designed for bonding sand and ceramic cores in the foundry industry. Foundrytec 301 prioritises bond strength between sand cores, with a slightly slower setting speed than other Foundrytec grades.

Foundrytec 301 has extremely low ash content (below 0.02%) reducing the risk of outgassing in the moulds. This formulation is ideal for steel foundries where ceramic runner systems are used.
