"he most important advantage of ALFANOL™ resins developed as water-based is that gas errors from solvent-based binder systems are not observed. We offer a wide range of products to meet the demands of our customers with ALFANOL™ resins in formulations with different types and properties, which have been developed as a result of long years of R&D studies by Çukurova Kimya experts.
After the polymer chains, which have been brought to the ideal molecular size to exhibit the best binding around the sand grains, are made alkaline without spoiling, they acquire the chemical feature that can react with esters. The structure, which starts to harden by forming cross-links as a result of the reaction, shows neutral properties if the resin/harder ratio is well adjusted and allows the mold obtained to be used for all metal castings, including aluminum casting.
Our casting resins, which are air-cured with esters, are marketed under the internationally recognized brand name ALFANOL™. Our R&D experts examine customer demands and changes in production technologies that are being renewed, and provide technical support services for foundries to achieve high efficiency targets.
