Veino Ultra 2000 additive reduces release agent application and increases tool availability
The increase in material efficiency – that is the ratio of production quantity to material input – is an important factor in reducing production costs and increasing competitiveness. New product developments can contribute to increasing efficiency, that is to say achieving the same or higher performance at lower dosages, or they offer the additional benefit of saving other materials in the process or reducing their consumption.
The new additive Veino Ultra 2000 offers an excellent release effect. Moreover, the new hybrid additive combines the well-known advantages of organic and inorganic additive solutions with significantly reduced odour and emission loads: It has a very good anti-veining effect and makes it possible to replace expensive special sands partially, or completely. The new hybrid additive was developed especially for use in the cold box process.
New low-formaldehyde system for cold box production
German foundries are faced with the challenge of reducing formaldehyde emissions in the exhaust gas flow of their existing plants from 20 mg/m3 (mass concentration) to 5 mg/m3 by February 2020 at the latest. At GIFA 2019, ASK Chemicals will present a specially designed binder-additive-coating package that allows foundries to comply with this new limit value without investing in additional secondary measures.
With the application of the Ecocure Blue LFS binder, Miratec LFS coating and Veino LFS additive tailored to the specific requirements, the LF system meets the legal formaldehyde limits with pinpoint accuracy.
