Fabrication

Offering high permeabilities and densities due to excellent fines control, these three and four screen round grain sands are ideal for most core and molding applications in iron, steel and non-ferrous foundries. They also demonstrate high strength in all binder systems.

PURITAN POTTERY PLASTER is a unique, specially designed for use with mechanical clay forming machinery. Absolutely the hardest, most wear-resistant plaster made for molds, and a favorite for jiggering molds.

HYDROPERM gypsum plaster is a specially formulated product incorporating an air entraining agent to provide permeability. For producing permeable plaster molds for precision casting of many nonferrous metals and alloys.

WHITE HYDROCAL is used for making plaster objects, a neutral gypsum cement having a normal set of 25 minutes. When Gypsum Cement is formed under a template it is slightly on the “short side” and has a tendency to tear. The setting expansion is somewhat greater than ULTRACAL 30.

Sculptex® is a non-toxic, non hardening modeling clay that is sulfur-free and non contaminating. Sculptex® is an ideal alternative to sulfur-based clays, which are incompatible with some mold rubbers. It holds excellent detail and is great for precision sculpting, prototyping and model making.

Smooth Cast® 320 series plastics are ultra-low viscosity resins that yield castings that are off-white. Vacuum degassing is not necessary and they offer the convenience of a 1:1 mix ratio. Your fully cured castings are machinable and paintable. Smooth-Cast® plastics offer tremendous versatility and economy. They are easy to use and you can add different colors and/or fillers for an infinite variety of mind-blowing effects. Perfect for casting detailed models, props and cast effect pieces.

Alja-Safe® is the world’s first alginate that does not contain crystalline silica (a known carcinogen). Alja-Safe® is perfect for making single-use molds of the face, hands and other body parts. Alja-Safe® is easy to use and cures quickly. It reproduces fine detail and makes an excellent temporary mold – good for one or two reproductions of any body part. You can then cast plaster, Matrix® NEO® (polymer modified gypsum) or Smooth-Cast® 300Q ultra-fast urethane resin into the mold to make a reproduction. For making re-usable molds of any body part, use Body Double® silicone rubber.
