Sand, properties

Various types and sizes of grits (1) can be used to achieve different sanding properties. 

Sand properties are determined using standard compression and tensile samples prepared according to the Foundry Sand Handbook, 7th.Ed " American Foundrymens Society Pub, pp8-4... 

Hot-BoxI Core Oven, and Microwave Radiation equipment have been used to dehydrate sand The differences in these processes are in their rate of core production, the efficiency of energy utilization and the availability of process equipment in the plant No matter what process is used to dehydrate the sand formulation so long as the entire sand body is heated above 105 C, the bound sand properties, ie strength, storage life and post-casting sand shake-out remain the same ... 

Only a limited amount of resin can be added to white paints due to its intrinsic color. Addition of these hard resins increases the hardness and the gloss of the paint films, accelerates and improves the drying of oxidatively cross-linking alkyd resins, and optimises sanding properties and corrosion protection in putties. Modified phenolic resins have lost much of their importance because they have been replaced by more efficient binder systems (e.g., thermoplastic and cross-linkable acrylic resins, polyurethane systems). Rosin-modified phenolic resins are, however, still extremely important in the production of resins for printing inks. 

An increase in moirlding sand properties, restrlting in a reduction in the munber of scrap moulds and in the number of rejects in finished castings.

An amine accelerated, medium reactive, thixotropic, semi-flexible orthophthalic resin for the manufacture of many forms of putty and filler paste, with good sanding properties. 

Talcs impart excellent sanding properties to primers and good scrubability to top coats. Coarse grades of talc are especially suited for wall primers, undercoats and texture paints where residual surface roughness is desirable. 

Powers et al. (1994) considered a spherical TCE entrapment in a porous medium and the respective model for the modified Sherwood number is shown in Table 15.3. In order to correctly illustrate the dissolution process, dissolution of TCE in the Ottawa sand used by Powers et al. (1994) is discussed in this section (refer to Table 15.4 for fluid and sand properties). 

These resins are made by reacting maleic acid or anhydride with a polyhydric alcohol, such as glycerin, in the presence of rosin or ester gum. They offer very rapid solvent release, good compatibility with nitrocellulose, and good sanding properties. This combination makes the resins ideal for... 

Common resins in use are rosin esters, such as ester gum, which is used for its low cost maleic resin, used in wood finishes for its good sanding properties and alkyds, employed for their good resistance and durability. Alkyds modified with coconut oil are often used these may be ftirther modified with other resins, such as terpenes, for good heat-sealing properties and phenolics, for good water resistance.
