Teton-Black (120 MESH) Foundry Green Sand Olivine Fine-Mesh For Metal Casting, Sand, Green, 10lb

TETON-BLACK 180 is a premium-quality, water-bonded foundry sand formulated especially for high temperature metal casting applications in the small shop. IMPORTANT: As with all water-bonded foundry sand, TETON BLACK requires active and ongoing management of moisture content by the end user. A single moisture content is not appropriate for all uses so we package TETON BLACK near the minimum usable moisture content with the expectation that the end user will tune the moisture content according to their application (facing sand generally is run with less moisture, molding sand with a bit more with a suggested max of 4%). Storing product a in closed, airtight container can help minimize needed water additions, but generally regular additions of water should be expected, including upon initial use. Keep in mind that this intended as a high-performance, professional-use product and as such requires fairly refined techniques to use, possibly running structured experiments, etc to get optimal results. Product is supplied ready-to-use (does not require mulling). Use for making metal casting molds for a variety of metals ranging from Pewter to Cast Iron Easy to (re)use, simply add water to maintain moisture Professionally Formulated, Pre-Mulled, and Quality Inspected (100% ready to use) More stable, better finish, safer, and longer life than competing silica sands
