Foundry-TEC\u00ae Adhesive<\/h2>\n
\n

We offer a range of FOUNDRY-TEC\u00ae hotmelts suitable for most foundry systems, enabling foundries to speed up all aspects of core production.<\/p>\n

Foundry-TEC\u00ae hotmelt gives excellent adhesion where cold processes are used such as \u2018Cold Box\u2019, \u2018Alpha Set\u2019 and \u2018Beta Set\u2019. They can also be used on \u2018Warm Box\u2019, \u2018Hot Box\u2019 and \u2018Shell\u2019 but these have to cool before hotmelt application.<\/p>\n

Advantages of Foundry-TEC\u00ae hotmelts over other \u00a0fixing systems such as water-based glues:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Increased production
\u2022\u00a0No waiting
\u2022\u00a0Improved accuracy
\u2022\u00a0No shelf life
\u2022\u00a0Risk of gassing is reduced
\u2022\u00a0Reduced storage
\u2022\u00a0No solvent \u00a0Cost effective
\u2022\u00a0Speed of set<\/p>\n

Foundry-TEC\u00ae high-performance adhesive cartridges formulated for foundries and specially designed for use in the TEC 3150, TEC 3200, TEC 6100, TEC 7100, TEC 7200 industrial glue guns.<\/p>\n

Simple adjustments to the tooling can be made to create the required recesses in the sand cores needed for the hotmelt bond.
\nCores can be coated\/dipped and then oven dried immediately. Oven temperatures and the time the cores spend in the oven vary. Sometimes the oven drying temperatures are unnecessarily high attempting to improve throughput. However, the insulation properties of the sand together with our higher heat resistant hotmelts can resist these high temperatures.
\nOn larger assemblies both hotmelt and water-based adhesives can be used together. The hotmelt acts as an instant clamp, allowing the cores to be moved and dipped immediately, with the water-based adhesive then giving very high temperature resistance.<\/p>\n

FOUNDRY-TEC\u00ae hotmelts do not affect sand reclamation.
\nEPS\/Lost Foam processes can also bene\ufb01 t from our hotmelts and equipment.
\nWax\/Investment foundries would use our hotmelt \u2018FOUNDRY-TEC 501\u2019 with its low ash content.<\/p>\n

Although the basic processes of forming a casting have many similarities, there are signi\ufb01 cant process variations. Different FOUNDRY-TEC\u00ae hotmelts are available to cater for these different processes.<\/p>\n
