CASTING

The Foundry Alfe CHEM series of aluminum casting lubricants is specially designed to replace natural plant esters during the casting of aluminum ingots in automatic or continuous lubricant operations. Because of their unique chemical nature, Foundry Alfe CHEM products do not promote algae or bacterial growth in recirculating water systems such as natural plant esters (e.g., peanut or castor oil). For this reason, Foundry Alfe CHEM products offer the solution to all the problems associated with algae and bacterial growth (e.g., plugged strains and orifices clogged in molds).

It is made from non-hazardous materials and does not require hazardous warning labels of any kind.
Advantages:
  • Fully synthetic
  • Does not promote the growth of algae or bacteria
  • Completely non-hazardous
  • Very low levels of BOD and COD compared to natural esters

DIE CASTING

Foundry Alfe CHEM offers a complete line of next generation products for the die casting industry. Reducing operating costs, providing application flexibility and problem solving are strengths of Foundry Alfe CHEM. Our innovative Thermal Cast release agents offer significant advantages:

Reduced scrap due to stains, surface finish quality and porosity

Quality improvements are economic efficiency. Our release agents are designed to provide excellent release and optimized surface finish. Our experts can help you select the correct lubricant and application method to minimize scrap and produce paintable, adaptable parts with the desired appearance.

Reduce downtime for cleaning

Continuous casting machines require the use of clean and compatible products. Our release agents not only leave minimal residue on dies, cores, vents and feed lines, they also remove waxy and oily residue left by other release agents.

Large operating windows

Heat release agents tolerate a wide range of mold temperatures and a variety of part complexity. They also increase tolerance to variations in other processes, ensuring low environmental, health and safety issues.

Low environmental, health and safety issues.

Respect for the environment and the health and safety of the operator are fundamental in everything we do. Incorporating features such as low smoke, no phenols and bad odors, our products are pleasant to use and environmentally friendly.
• Quantified productivity improvements
• Reduced scrap speed
• Improved appearance
• Parameters for definitive troubleshooting.
