Binders for coldbox amin process
ISOCURE
The original and universal Cold Box binder system
ISOCURE binders are the industry standard for high production foundries producing sand cores and precision sand molds. This product family can be used to make all types of cores with both highly automated production equipment and manual operations. The broad range of products can be used in highly specialised casting processes or for more standard types of applications. The use of ISOCURE binders can be matched to a foundry whose need is to produce high quality, superior cores and molds.
ECOCURE
The environmentally driven phenolic urethane Cold Box binder
ECOCURE phenolic urethane binders focus on providing foundries with the high-end environmental performance without sacrificing the speed and strength of the ISOCURE family of products. This is accomplished by not only adjusting the solvents and additives in the binder, but also changing the chemistry backbone to produce products with less environmental impact.
