    Moulding sand must have several key properties: it must be porous to allow gases to escape during casting but cohesive enough to hold its shape, it needs to be adhesive to bind together but also plastic enough to be moulded into the desired form and hold that shape when the pressure is removed. The sand also needs to be refractory to withstand high temperatures, have enough flowability to behave like a fluid during casting, and be chemically stable to resist reaction with molten metals.

    PROPERTIES OF MOULDING SAND

    Porosity or permeability
    Cohesiveness and strength
    Adhesiveness
    Plasticity-acquiring predetermined shape under pressure and
    to retain it when pressure is removed
    Refractoriness-property to withstand high temp
    Flowability-to behave like a fluid
    Chemical stability-to resist chemical reaction with molten
    metal
