This new special sand for sensitive core design, IRM069 was developed for the Investment Casting market. IRM069 is a new special sand designed to meet high technical core requirements such as intricate shape where flowability and compaction are key. It makes IRM069 a blend which is a suitable alternative for chromite and zircon sands and may be used for core shooting machines and all types of binder systems.


Its key properties are:

·           High flowability: far better than silica sand & chromite facilitating reduction of shooting pressure.

·           Very high compaction: far better than usual beads, chromite and silica sand

·           Good gas permeability, similar to silica sand or chromite – AFS55

·           High refractoriness: more than 53% Al2O3

·           Good bending strength, suitable for cold box, corning and inorganic

·           Low thermal expansion: 100% anti-veining and high dimension accuracy

·           Bulk density at 1.65kg/dm3, far lower than chromite
