Binders

Binders are a cornerstone of REMET’s existence. REMET works closely with its customers to help select the binder that will optimize their process. Factors such as adhesion to the wax pattern, slurry stability, required green, hot and fired strength, processing speed and an ability to operate under the foundry’s environmental conditions, whether tightly controlled or uncontrolled, are all considered to give our customers the best system to meet or exceed their needs. Available binders include families of Enhanced REMASOL® ADBOND® Binders as well as standard REMASOL® Colloidal Silica Binders.

• World-Class Technical Support
• State-of-the-Art R&D Laboratories
• Improved Green Strength and Elasticity
• Unique Solutions to Reduce Operating Costs
• Coat reduction plus faster processing speed yield: reduced costs, improved customer responsiveness, reduced work in process and increased profitability.

Colloidal Silica

REMASOL®
Available in both 8 and 14 millimicron particle size.

LUDOX®
This line of binders is available in all industry standard sizes to meet the investment caster’s needs. Freeze stabilized (FS) grades are available for distribution in Europe.

Enhanced Colloidal Silica

Binder systems are available either as two-component systems, to allow you to minimize cost and maximize formulation flexibility, or as pre-blended ready-to-use products.

REMASOL® ADBOND®

Designed to: improve primary coat adhesion and stability; improve back-up coat strength; provide faster processing; reduce coats; improve customer responsiveness; reduce work in process; increase profitability. Available for both primary and backup slurry applications.

ADBOND ARTCASR®

Coming Soon.

LUDOX®SK

Full LUDOX® SK family of products is also available

Ethyl Silicate

ES 40
REMET offers this silicate binder which requires hydrolysis prior to use.

SILESTER®
Available in A-1 (AR) and XA-1 (XAR) prehydrolized products.

REMET R-18
Prehydrolized binder with 18% silica content.

REMET R-20
Prehydrolized binder with 20% silica content.

REMET R-25
Prehydrolized binder with 25% silica content. Custom Hydrolized formulations are also available.

Specialty Binders

COLLOIDAL ALUMINA (REMAL® 20)
Excellent binder for reactive alloy casting.

COLLOIDAL ZIRCONIA
An acetate stabilized binder for high temperature applications.

TICOAT®-N
An effective binder system designed specifically for titanium castings. It is also useful for other applications where presence of silica in the binder would cause metal mold reaction problems.
