Aluminosilicate Refractory Flour & Sand

 

REMASIL® is the trade name for REMET® UK’s Aluminosilicate products. Composed of three systems (REMASIL 48, 50 & 60), all calcined to a constant weight and ground to specific grade of both grains and flours. These products produce investment casting shells of excellent refractoriness and high temperature stability, at an incredibly economical rate. The REMASIL® range provides increased strength when compared to Fused Silica systems.

In the case of stucco grains, the custom grinding of REMASIL results in a more uniform product which has a narrow range of particle sizes and a minimum amount of fines (dust). Reduced fines improve both permeability and intercoat adhesion.  Whilst the powder grains can offer the user a greater level of flexibility, through its offering in two separate cuts, allowing a foundryman to choose the specific grade that best suits their needs.

REMASIL 48 Benefits

• Good refractoriness and high temperature stability.
• Easy knockout.

 

REMASIL50 Benefits

• Increased hot strength.
• Robust and resilient.
• Easy knockout.

 

REMASIL 60 Benefits

• Higher Alumina content provides for increased refractoriness and stability at high temperatures.
• Excellent for casting larger parts.
• Performs exceptionally well when dimensional stability is crucial.

Unfilled Investment Casting Pattern & Runner Wax

Remet’s CASTYLENE® range are blends of pattern and runner/sprue waxes that are unfilled. These waxes have both low melting and congealing points making them suitable for liquid, paste injection and extrusion methods.

The low viscosity of CASTYLENE waxes aids the blends in filling even the most complex dies, producing sharply defined patterns. This characteristic makes this range of waxes ideal for application in the casting of decorative pieces, where detail is critical.

CASTYLENE waxes are tough and flexible to resist breakage and chipping during handling and efficient dewaxing. Its good mechanical properties allow CASTYLENE waxes to perform excellently as a runner/sprue wax, avoiding damage of the wax patterns.

Water Soluble Wax

SOLUCORE® waxes are able to produce cavities of a far greater complexity than can be achieved through tool design alone.

Remet’s soluble waxes have been designed to allow users to achieve a high level of detail, negating the need to invest in preformed ceramic cores.

Blends of soluble wax can be highly sophisticated compounds, which are able to be tailored to the needs of the investment caster. Through Remet’s expert knowledge, users can control and monitor a soluble wax’s properties leading to improvements in the injection, handling and leaching times. The SOLUCORE range of water soluble waxes are made up of both fibrous and non-fibrous materials, which are suitable for making patterns requiring both small and delicate cores, as well as, large and chunky cores.

SOLUCORE waxes have the following key benefits:

• Low shrink rate
• Fast dissolution speed
• Excellent dimensional stability
• High quality surface finish
• Very limited sink or dishing
• Resistant to crazing and cracking

Sticky Casting Wax

 

STICKTITE® waxes have been designed specifically as a sticky wax for use in the assembly of sprue/pattern trees prior to the shell forming process. These materials have low odour and smoke and impart exceptionally high adhesive and cohesive strength to the sprue/pattern joint. The differing formulations offer the choice off set up and solidification times.

Remet’s STICKTITE waxes can be used as an adhesive between wax and wax, or sticking ceramic to wax (for instance pouring cups and rings). We are able to specify criteria such as opening times to ensure that the investment caster has the time they require for positioning and correcting parts during assembly.
