 5、Brief Introduction of SQ Foundry Coating

FQ series Alcohol based Foundry Coatings are applicable in various grades of resin bonded, sodium silicate-bonded and clay-bonded sand moulds etc.,
and suitable for production of various types of metal castings.
Excellent thixotropy and levelling property, no brush marks.
Good suspension properties, easy to handle
Low gas yield, reducing gas hole defect. Easy to ignite and burn well, no bubble or crack high strength.
Good anti- burn-on properties, good surface finish, easy to clean

USING GUIDE
Open the pail or drum, mix the coating round with portable blender or other tools and then measure viscosity with the baumer meter.
Coating density and viscosity should be adjusted by dilution to match the application method, then it can be applied.
Blow away the remaining sand on the sand mould surface.
Apply the coatings on the sand mould surface evenly with the principle “From upper to bottom, from left to right”.
Make sure the coat thickness even, or it is easy to have bubble and crack on the thick spot while the sand stick may happen on the thin spot.
The coat thickness usually varies from 0.3 – 0.5mm.
Take note of the igniting timing according to the size of sand mould and coating time, for small one it can be ignited after applying all coatings while for big one it
can be applied and ignited partially. In winter, grill gun can be used for partial baking if burning is insufficient, then do the pouring.
(Application method for coatings): brushing, dipping, spraying, and flow coating(flow coat).

CAUTIONS
Products should be stored at room temperature.
Alcohol based coating must be kept away from fire and heat source.

STORAGE
Store in place of good ventilation, keep away from heat resource. 6 months of shelf life.
