Grades
- A range of resin strengths can be manufactured, from less than 1.0% to 5.0%
- Silica, zircon, and chromite sands can all be coated, or blends of the different sands can be produced, such as 50% zircon and 50% silica.
- Sands of different AFS can be coated; typically, 50 to 90 AFS are used.
- Speciality blends using thermally reclaimed sand can also be manufactured for specific applications.
- Other additives can be added to improve operator comfort.
- For the oil industry, a wide range of proppant/frac sand grades can be manufactured to meet specific requirements for sizing, strength and use.
Benefits
Strict quality control, superior quality raw ingredients and process controls in the manufacture of the resin sand results in a sand that has:
- Improved build-up, faster curing times, quicker cycle times and improvements in productivity.
- Less resin is required to attain the same strengths, which results in less fuming and emissions during manufacturing and casting.
- Improved knockout characteristics.
- Lower overall cost.
Health, Safety & the Environment
Lower resin additions result in lower fume emissions, both at the manufacturing and casting states. This results in a cleaner working environment for your employees.
