The Lustrous Carbon Powder, also known as lustrecarb is sulphur free carbon additive to green sand in ferrous foundries to improve casting finish in sand casting. This product has a balanced quantum of carbon and volatiles and very low ash. When binders and hot metal is poured the carbon forms a graphitic film and prevents sand intrusion on to the mould. This ensures excellent and smooth finish for the grey iron. Essen Industries is manufacturing Lustrous Carbon Powder.
Essen Industries offers wide range of carbon products like coconut shell charcoal, carbon additives, lustre carb and low ash sea coal powder. Lustrous Carbon Powder is a blend of hydrocarbons. The addition to foundry sand is approximately 2% to new sand and 0.5% to return sand by weights.
