MINNEAPOLIS, April 15, 2016 -- Fairmont Santrol will introduce TechniSand TruCoat resin-coated sand at the upcoming American Foundry Society’s CASTEXPO 16 & 120th Metalcasting Congress, which is April 16-19 at the Minneapolis Convention Center.
Technisand TruCoat is a new, environmentally friendly resin-coated sand designed to reduce odor and smoke, and lower emissions without sacrificing productivity.
Fairmount Santrol developed TechniSand TruCoat resin-coated sand to improve air quality inside and outside the foundry without sacrificing quality or production demands. Compared with conventional resin-coated technology, the new product decreases hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) by 41%, lowers free phenol levels by 62%, and reduces free formaldehyde by 35%.
“TruCoat represents our continued commitment to providing the highest quality products that are both environmentally conscious and employee friendly,” said Mike Lenahan, Vice President of Sales, for Fairmount Santrol’s Industrial and Recreation business segment. “Our customers are creating stronger metalcastings faster in improved, safer conditions from lower emissions compared with traditional resin-coated sand.”
The American Foundry Society (AFS) is the metalcasting industry’s premier trade association serving metalcasters and members of the metalcasting supply chain in North America.
