Increased Productivity<\/strong> \u2022\u00a0Reduced wall thickness Reduced Scrap<\/strong> Reduced Hazardous Air Pollutants and Smoke<\/strong> We Know the Products, Processes, and Markets<\/strong><\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n We Provide the Widest Variety of Coated and Blended Sands in the Industry<\/strong><\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div> Our Signature Series products are pre-coated and ready to use. You get all the benefits of resin-coated sand without the associated capital and operational costs of sand\/resin mixing systems.<\/strong><\/p>\n A Better Binder Technology<\/strong><\/p>\n TechniSand Signature Series out-performs cold box, warm box, and no-bake in several areas. Signature Series resin-coated sands deliver benefits such as:<\/p>\n \u2022 Consistent and high tensile strengths versus other binder processes Reduce Emissions and Smoke While Maintaining Quality<\/strong><\/p>\n You don\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n 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\u00ae 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.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>
