Peel back was a big problem, and we had to make heavier cores, which increased our cycle times. With Signature Series shell sand our core department costs are down 30.3% over the same period a year earlier.

Signature SeriesThe New Binder Technology When you think shell sand you often think of an older technology with limitations. Our new Signature Series shell sand has signicant advantages over traditional shell sand. And it also out-performs cold box, warm box, and no-bake in several areas. With the arrival of Signature Series shell sand comes a whole new list of benets: Consistent and high tensile strengths versus other binder processes The best dimensional tolerances Excellent casting surface nish 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 Elimination of ammonia odors And Technisand products are pre-coated and ready to use, so you get all the benets of resin-coated sand without the associated capital and operational costs of sand/resin mixing systems.
On the majority of jobs were seeing faster cycle timeswhen you reduce the weight of the core some 20%, you reduce cycle times.

With Neozien technology our operators can literally put their faces in the invest areathe air is easily breathable and theres no longer that noxious ammonia odor.

Signature Series Gold Our latest innovation is designed to reduce both free phenols and formaldehyde for even better in-plant air quality. And Signature Series Gold shell sand contains 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 oensive odors that may be created during core making, mold making, and casting pouring and cooling processes. No matter which Signature Series product you choose, youll create a better work environment in-plant, and in your surrounding community, while reducing emissions and improving overall air quality. Reduce Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP) by more than 41.0% over traditional resin coated sand. Reduce free formaldehyde by 35.2%. Drive Free Phenol levels down 61.6%production testing has shown free phenol actually falling below detectable limits. Experience lower smoke opacity resulting from reduced emissions. Eliminate ammonia odor with Neozien technology
