Foundrytec 501 Low Viscosity Content Sand Core Hot Melt Glue Slugs

Power Adhesives Foundrytec 501 Low Viscosity Glue Slugs

Foundrytec 501 is a pale-amber hot melt adhesive supplied in 1-3/4" (43mm) slug form, designed for bonding sand cores in the foundry industry. 

Built around a synthetic polymer based hotmelt chemistry for use on sand cores, it supports close bonding with minimal gaps, while hot melt glue slugs help reduce stringing and improve applicator output for consistent assembly work. For workflow flexibility, hot glue slugs are well-suited to core builds where low viscosity supports close-fit core placement.

Foundrytec 501 Hot Melt Glue Slugs Features and Benefits

• Low Viscosity Bonding: Helps facilitate very close bonds with a minimum gap between sand cores.
• Reduced Deformation Risk: Supports close-fit core assemblies to help reduce the risk of deformations in the finished product.
• Stringing Reduction: Low viscosity helps prevent stringing from the applicator nozzle.
• Improved Applicator Output: Helps improve overall adhesive applicator output during sand core assembly.
• FDA Compliance: Meets FDA 175.105 for indirect food contact.
