| ADBOND ARTCAST is a polymer enhanced water-base binder system for producing investment cast shells. It was specifically developed to enhance the desirable aspects of water based shell systems, namely generating higher green strengths [unfired] more quickly, improving rheology[fluid dynamics], stucco adhesion and permeability[breathability]. This is coupled with fast draining and rapid gelation. Furthermore it has been formulated with the artisan founder in mind, and as such has an incredible stability, which allows it to be used with all the standard refractories at a wide variety of viscosities. Due to this unique formulation a very low level of technical expertise is needed to prevent serious problems. |
