Remet’s dedicated Research and Development team are constantly working on new and innovative approaches to making the materials used for precision investment casting. Responding to the demands from industry the company has developed a number of materials that provide enhancements to the investment casting process, are better for the environment and more economical. Recent developments include:
• FastForm® is an unfilled wax that behaves like a highly-filled wax. It operates at a lower temperature than other waxes and combines reduced cycle times with a rapid set-up and has no adverse sinkage effects
• Quikset™ is a binder that promotes rapid drying of shell coats. Used as part of a back-up slurry it can reduce cycle times down to 1 hour per coat
• EWash™ is a pattern wash that is a biodegradable alternative to petroleum-based products, capable of etching a tree in 10 seconds
Remet is also able to offer materials analysis and testing, product and process training, proof of concept and pilot trials.
