Self Setting Glues
TANFIKS™
Silicate-based casting glues are developed for cold sand surfaces. It can be used on any type of sand. TANFIKS is presented to the usage of customers in different viscosities that complete its curing up to 10 minutes.
When applied as a thin layer on or between the core and mold surfaces, it cured and forms a tightly adherent inorganic bond.

Hot to Hot Glues
Special glues formulations to bond hot to hot surfaces of shell molds. These special glues which contain phenolic resins and refractory fillers are preferred especially in core making with coated sand.
Hot to hot core glues are applied rapidly to the hot core surface that comes out from the core box. The glues present sufficient working time to the user without losing its fluidity during application.
A strong interface is formed that eliminates metal erosions in the joint line up to 90 seconds of curing.
