Lost Foam
Intricate application combined with resilient bonds is what excels hot melts in the adhesive industry for lost foam investment bonding.
Lost Foam Casting
Preserving Foam Integrity
With our class-leading low melt formulations, we ensure secure bonds without burning or otherwise damaging the foam components, leading to cleaner, more physically detailed final casts.
Preserving Foam Integrity
Accelerated Production
With rapid setting times, our adhesives speed up the foam pattern assembly process, reducing production cycle times. This acceleration enhances overall foundry efficiency, allowing for increased output without sacrificing quality.
Accelerated Production
Uninterrupted Melting Process
Unlike many other bonding processes that require cleaning the finished cast after the EPS has melted, hot melts liquify and flow into the sand, resulting in minimal clean-up and reduction in overall waste sand/compacting material.
Uninterrupted Melting Process
Multiple Application Methods
Whether your industry uses regular glue applicators or is a more automated process with bulk tanks, we have an adhesive format that suits the equipment. Our bulk grades have been formulated to survive several days in bulk tanks without degrading or charring.
