This innovation was developed for castings requiring a high degree of tolerances and complex geometries. • Zero amine exposure & No release of harmful emissions – providing minimum/no order during the core making and casting process along with no condensation build up, lower core collapsibility in the core making process and no need for emission control equipment. • Low VOCs & HAPS – with the benefits of a fast curing rate and suited for aluminum. • Reduced ammonia – and up to 70% reduced formaldehyde emissions for resin coated sand applications. The next generation of environmentally friendly resin- coated sand will be more resistant to sand sticking or lumping in hot and humid conditions. And, there are already new developments for resins that perform well in the most extreme environments. Today, you really have many choices in regards to high performing environmentally friendly materials. Reducing the environmental footprint in your foundry and community while improving your overall performance has never been more accessible. The HA International EcoMission program help metalcasters address the environmental challenges their operations face without sacrificing the quality and performance from resins, resin coated sand, and refractory coatings. 47
