Resin Coated

We Know the Products, Processes, and Markets

Our highly experienced technical staff helps you choose the right products and blends to assure better casting quality and higher ROI. We conduct a comprehensive audit of your sand system with no obligation.

No matter what type of metal castings you are producing, Signature Series resin-coated sands will out-perform typical resin-coated products. For aluminum castings, our specially formulated additives provide high tensile strength at very low resin levels, for superior shake-out properties.

We Provide the Widest Variety of Coated and Blended Sands in the Industry

Regardless of your specific requirement, Fairmount Minerals delivers a product suited to your needs. Custom sand and additive formulations are designed for each customer. Blends are created to improve permeability. Cushioning agents are added to eliminate veining, and iron oxides are added to eliminate warping. Blends of silica sand, lake sand, and ceramic material are also available.

A Better Binder Technology

TechniSand Signature Series out-performs cold box, warm box, and no-bake in several areas. Signature Series resin-coated sands deliver benefits such as:

• Consistent and high tensile strengths versus other binder processes
• The best dimensional tolerances
• Excellent casting surface finish
• The ability to produce complex cores at a very low core weight
• Superior hot distortion properties
• Excellent heat transfer capabilities
• Better shakeout properties
• Lower Hazardous Air Pollutant(HAP)and Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions
• Reduction of ammonia odours

Reduce Emissions and Smoke While Maintaining Quality

You don’t have to sacrifice performance to create a better environment in-plant or in your surrounding community. TechniSand Signature Series resin-coated sands deliver the same high performance as our conventional resin-coated sands and are specifically formulated to reduce emissions, smoke and odor when producing cores and molds.

This is the first resin-coated product specifically designed to reduce free phenol emissions, and is used widely in all types of foundries. TechniSand Signature Series resin-coated sands also contain Neozien® technology, which reduces the offensive ammonia odor associated with traditional shell sand. Neozien technology ties up ammonia and leaves behind only a subtle vanilla aroma.

Our latest innovation is designed to reduce both free phenols and formaldehyde for even better in-plant air quality. And TechniSand Signature Series Gold resin-coated sands contain no ammonia-producing free hexamine, so ammonia odor is never a problem. However, Neozien technology is used in our Signature Series Gold formulations to tie up any other offensive odors that may be created during core making, mold making, casting pouring, cooling, and shakeout processes.

No matter which Signature Series resin-coated sand product you choose, you’ll create a better work environment in-plant, and in your surrounding community, while reducing emissions and improving overall air quality.
