Green Sand Metalcasting Foundry News

Try this with another liquid parting and see what happens

The flammability hazard of traditional foundry pattern liquid parting does not exist with water-based AquaPart II®.

• AquaPart II gives you a water-based dispersion
• AquaPart II large droplet formation means faster, even application. You'll use less and spend less
• AquaPart II has very low odor, sulfur, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
• Try AquaPart II in your foundry. You'll like the results!

Hill and Griffith’s Slagone is a perlite material used as a slag coagulant in a molten metal application. Slagone is typically used with Iron, Brass and Bronze metals.

Description

Perlite is a generic term for a naturally occurring siliceous volcanic rock. The distinguishing feature of perlite is that when it is heated to its softening range, it expands 4 to 20 times its original volume. This expansion is due to a small amount of water contained in the crude perlite rock. As the ore heats, the water vaporizes and pops allowing the expansion. Any slag present on the molten metal will adhere to the expanded perlite and continue to float. The combined slag/perlite from the molten metal slag coagulant can then be removed from the molten metal in large pieces, resulting in clean molten metal for the casting process.
