Sand Core Assembly

Fast Setting – Reduced Storage

Not only do our hot melt solutions provide a near instant bond once compressed, but their chemical make-up means their setting speeds are greatly reduced when compared to water-based solutions. This rapid setting speeds means foundries can dedicate more space to production equipment, and less to storage areas.

Reduced Storage

Sand Specific Formulations

Specially formulated for sandy surfaces, both coated and uncoated, our hot melt adhesives provide strong and reliable bonds. This ensures that the sand core segments remain securely attached throughout the casting process, reducing the risk of defects in the final metal part.

Specified Formulations

Low Ash Content

Our adhesives low ash content minimizes outgassing, resulting in cleaner castings with smoother surfaces. This reduces the need for post-casting cleaning and finishing, enhancing overall production efficiency and product quality.

Low Ash Content

High Output with Minimal Effort

When partnered with the correct applicator, our hot melts are quick and easy to apply. Their use simplifies the core assembly and repair process, making it accessible even to operators with less experience in the foundry industry.

High Output

Keeping Core Production Simple

Engineered to excel in assembling and repairing sand cores, Foundrytec adhesives epitomise reliability and efficiency in foundry operations. Boasting low ash content with high grab and fast setting speeds foundries can optimise their production processes and achieve superior results.
