Product Profile of Core & Mould Binders : Exothermic & Insulating Compound Afcifeed

Afcil industries limited has a range of exothermic and insulating compound-afcifeed.
Afcifeed 11/21 is one of product exothermic cum insulating compound to minimize the heat losses due to atmospheric pressure. It also acts as an insulating barrier thereby increases feeding efficiency of riser resulting in improved directional solidification.
Afcifeed 31/41 is a special range of mould able exothermic compound for ferrous and non-ferrous castings.
Afcifeed 51 is highly exothermic compound especially for ferrous castings initiate an exothermic reaction in risers by liberation of heat .
Afcifeed 61 is an exothermic cum insulating hot-topping compound in square shape. Which start exothermic reaction and also acts as an insulating barrier.
Afcifeed 11/ 21/ 31/ 41/ 51 is available in powder form.
Afcifeed 61 is available in square shape. It also available in various sizes as per individual requirement.

• Advantages are :

• Productions of sound castings free from defects

.

• Useful particularly where box parts or casting design makes risering difficult.

• Increase in feeding efficiency and yield, through minimum heat loss and heat dissipation

• Reduction in riser sizes improves the foundry yield through metal saving, higher product output per mould due to higher saving in riser metal, savings in high value metallic inputs, drastic reduction in fettling costs

.

• Because of better feeding the rejection due to shrinkage defects are reduced.

• Use afcihold an excellent slag holding compound that ensures clean metal surface free from slag by coagulating the impurities & also imparts an insulating effect.
