Features:
- Functions like foundry wax and is “foundry friendly”
- Low residual ash content (less than 0.02%)
- Short burnout cycle
- Easy-to-process plastic
- Good plastic powder recycle characteristics
Benefits:
- Create complex patterns without welds or joints
- Reduce lead times resulting in faster time-to market
- Compatible with autoclaves, low-temperature furnaces, and vacuum plaster casting methods
- Easy to assemble and repair patterns
- Rapidly test new designs in iterative process
Applications:
- Create patterns directly rather than through indirect methods
- Complex investment casting patterns
- Reactive metals like titanium
- Low melt-temperature metals such as aluminum, magnesium and zinc
- Ferrous and non-ferrous metals
- Economic, low-volume production castings without tooling
- Smaller parts can be joined to create very large patterns
- Sacrificial, expendable patterns
