In addition to odorless core production and odor-reduced casting, the advantages for the foundry industry of using INOTEC™ technology are the significantly lower cleaning requirements for machines and tools and the associated increases in productivity for foundries. Inorganic binders also offer technical casting advantages that lead to higher component strengths. Improved shake-out and surface quality. The newly developed INOTEC™ TC 5000 promoter supplements the positive properties of the previous generation in terms of penetration and sand adhesion-free casting surfaces with improved disintegration properties in light metal casting, improved immediate strength and increased storage stability of the cores. The decoring of castings manufactured with inorganic binders posed a challenge in the area of the water spaces, especially if the decoring system had few degrees of freedom. With INOTEC™ TC 5000, even complex and delicate water jacket cores can now be safely removed from the component after casting. It goes without saying that this is a 100 percent inorganic system that does not leave any condensate deposits in the casting tools and does not cause smoke to form during the casting process.
Better shelf life and moisture resistance
The storage stability of cores made with inorganic binders also posed a challenge, especially on hot summer days with high humidity and high room temperatures. The new INOTEC™ HS 3000 binder significantly improves the moisture resistance of the inorganically bonded cores. The new INOTECTM binder now makes it possible to produce stable cores coated with a water-based coating, which also makes the INOTECTM binder system interesting for iron casting.
