NOVANOL™ binders for resol-CO2 process
NOVANOL™ is a water-based, alkaline phenolic binder with excellent heat resistance that has been specially developed for steel applications, although this binder is equally suited to iron and non-ferrous applications.
NOVANOL™ is recommended for all types of castings. Since they are water-based binding systems, this binder is a good solution for foundries that are seeking to improve their environmental performance.
Novanol™ is a key technology for cores production with binder usage based on phenol resin condensed in alkaline condition, hardened due to CO2 blow down.
Advantages
- Perfect for steel casting
- Easy stripping
- Good rates of final strength
- Perfect casting results even without covering
- Almost full lack of solvents, very low level of emissions while cores production and storage
- Does not require scrubber.
- Easy shake out of the mixture after pouring
- Good thermal stability
