We are pleased to announce the Foundrytec hot melts from Power Adhesives. Foundrytec hot melt is perfect for most foundry systems with benefits such as instant bonding with a short or no wait time, improved accuracy, increased productivity, and a reduction in scrap. Foundrytec comes in both 1/2" glue sticks and 1 3/4" glue slugs, perfect for using with the Tec 830 and Tec 6100 glue guns.
The Foundrytec hot melt works extremely well when cold processes are used like 'cold box', 'alpha set,' and 'beta set'. Not only can they be used during the cold process but also works with 'warm box', 'hot box,' and 'shell'. Power Adhesives has 5 hot melt adhesive formulas designed specifically for different foundry processes.
Foundrytec Hot Melt Formulas
- General Purpose Sand Core Hot Melt
- Long Open Time Sand Core Hot Melt
- Polyamide Sand Core Hot Melt
- Low Ash Content Sand Core Hot Melt
- Fast Setting Sand Core Hot Melt
Easily make some small adjustments in tooling to create the required recess in the sand cores needed for using hot melt. The high temperatures of the drying ovens are no problem for Foundrytec hot melt. The insulation of the sand and the high-temperature hot melt allow the Foundrytec to resist high oven temperatures.
For larger assemblies foundries can use both water-based adhesives and hot melt. The hot melt acts as an instant bond which allows for the cores to be dipped immediately in a water-based adhesive to give them very high-temperature resistance. Foundrytec hot melt adhesives do not affect sand reclamation.
