\u00a0Lake Sand<\/h2>\n

Fairmount Foundry is the leading producer of LakeShore & Wexford lake sands for the Foundry Industry. The sub-rounded shape and natural oxides make our lake sands ideal for iron foundries. No other type of sand has the excellent anti-veining characteristics of lake sands, enabling foundries to eliminate expensive additives and instead rely on the consistency of the lake sands. These fine bank sands also perform well as additives to green sand systems.<\/p>\n

Features & Benefits<\/strong>
\n\u2022\u00a0Excellent performance in green sand systems
\n\u2022\u00a0Superior anti-veining properties
\n\u2022\u00a0High quality with cpk\u2019s that exceed 3
\n\u2022\u00a0Extremely consistent and low ADV (>5)
\n\u2022\u00a0Finer lake sands make an excellent molding addition
\n\u2022\u00a0Washed and dried for better coating of the binder to the grains
\n\u2022 PLC controlled blending ensures consistent particle size distribution<\/p>\n

We can blend any of our sands to create the product that best meets your specific requirements. For example, silica\/lake is a superior blend for core making, with low binder levels that may not require anti-veining additives.<\/p>\n

Warning<\/strong>
\nContains Free Silica. Do Not Breathe Dust. Prolonged exposure to dust may cause delayed lung injury (silicosis). Monographs on the Evaluation of the Carcinogenic Risk of Chemicals to Humans (vol 68, 1997) concludes that there is sufficient evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of inhaled crystalline silica in the forms of quartz and cristobalite (Group I) in certain industrial circumstances, but that carcinogenicity may be dependent on inherent characteristics of the crystalline silica or on external factors affecting its biological activity or distribution activity or distribution of its polymorphs. See Material Safety Data Sheet for detailed information. CAS 14808-60-7 FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY.<\/p>\n
