Foundry Sand

Olivine casting sand with its sintering point 1450 Co (2642 Fo) and melting point over 1760 Co (3200 Fo) performs excellent for the ferrous castings (grey cast iron, nodular cast iron, malleable cast iron) and performs very well for thenonferrous castings. Especially for the Manganese (MN) castings where the surface smoothness is important Olivine is the absolute solution.

• Because of its alkaline characteristic, it performs excellent, especially for manganese castings.
• As olivine doesn’t react with steel, provides smoother surfaces.
• The re-usage rate is higher than silica sand.
• Environment-friendly.
• Because of its silica content is combined, it doesn’t cause silicosis.
• Resistant to thermal shocks.
• Low thermal expansion.
• More economical in compassion to Zircon and Chromite Sand.
