Furan Resins
Furan Resins Liquid
Product Overview
No-Baking Furan Resins are liquid thermosetting resins used mainly as a sand binding agent in foundry applications.
They react with a hardener to form strong sand molds and cores used in metal casting processes.
These resins provide high strength, excellent casting surface finish, and good resistance to high temperatures, making them suitable for continuous foundry production.
Available Types
MCI-FR301
MCI-FR302
MCI-FR303
All grades are supplied as yellowish brown clear liquid.
