ANTRAPEX®
Casting defects remain one of the biggest challenges in core sand applications, often leading to costly rework and production delays. We address this with our ANTRAPEX® solution, which is engineered to enhance process stability, extend bench life, and improve casting surface finish.
Paragraphs
ANTRAPEX® is an additive for cold box core sand that minimizes the risk of veining. It is non-porous and generally coarse-grained, minimizing losses of core strength. The organic components of ANTRAPEX® improve the casting surface finish during combustion.
With ANTRAPEX®, foundries benefit from:
- A long bench life, guaranteeing a consistent process and quality of core produced.
- A flowability of the core sand which is the same or better with the addition of ANTRAPEX®.
- An unlimited shelf life.
ANTRAPEX® is not classified as a hazardous substance or dangerous good. After core breakdown, the additive acts as a carbonaceous material in the molding sand.By combining organic and inorganic formulations with proven global expertise, we help foundries achieve consistent quality, safer handling, and long-lasting performance.
