  • Extruded Wax – RED® C – shaped wax extrusions which allow the investment caster to design and build flexible wax assembly systems.
  • Over Dipping Wax – DIPSEAL® – for the coating of a wax assembly offering improved primary coat adhesion
  • Patching Wax, Remet offer versatile blends that are both soluble and non-soluble in water that aid the investment caster in the repairing of defects in patterns, wax assemblies and soluble cores.

 


  • SOLUCORE®

    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

  • STICKTITE®

    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.

    To find out more information about our STICKTITE, sticky waxes, please contact us. One of Remet’s Technical Sales Managers would be happy to discuss your requirements and what we can supply for your process.
