FOUNDRY RELEASE AGENTS

High-performance foundry release agents for airset, cold box, dry parting, liquid parting or shell applications.

Foundry Shell Release Agents

SHELL

RELEASE AGENTS

Release agents are used in various applications to release resin-bonded shell mold and cores in metal casting, where water sensitivity is not present.  Hill & Griffith has formulated several silicone emulsions that produce outstanding release characteristics without creating build-up in the tool.

SILICONE EMULSIONS

Formulated with various viscosity silicones, surfactants and water.

  • Used in a variety of applications of mold or core release, where water sensitivity is not present.

  • Easily used

  • Non-flammable

  • Excellent release

EMULSION MEM-0008

Formulated with various viscosity silicones, surfactants and water.

  • Used in a wide variety of applications to release resin-bonded shell mold and/or cores in metal casting, where water sensitivity is not present

  • Oil phase withstands molding temperatures

  • No smoking, breakdown, carbonization or buildup

  • Non-flammable, dilutable with water up to 1:20

Foundry Cold Box Release Agents

COLD BOX

RELEASE AGENTS

The Cobra family of release agents provide excellent lubrication and release with minimal build-up on the pattern.  They typically include chemical bonded cold box and no-bake systems, including water-sensitive materials such as sodium silicates.

COBRA 15N

Flammable release agent used in a variety of core making operations.

  • No Montreal Protocol regulations

  • Cleans while it lubricates

COBRA 212

Flammable release agent used in a variety of core making operations.

  • No Montreal Protocol regulations

  • Excellent release

  • Fast evaporation rate of the carrier

  • Excellent lubrication and release with minimal build up on the pattern

COBRA 521

Non-flammable release agent used in a variety of core making operations.

  • Zero volatile organic compounds

  • No Montreal Protocol regulations

  • Excellent release

  • Excellent lubrication and release with minimal build up on the pattern

Foundry Airset Release Agents

AIRSET

RELEASE AGENTS

Formulated with unique release materials, pigments and solvents, the Airset family of release agents are fast drying and used when water is neither desirable nor tolerable.  

AIRSET RELEASE 913

Fast-drying release formulated with special release materials, pigments and solvents.

  • Most economical aluminum pigment release

AIRSET RELEASE 97

Fast-drying release formulated with special release materials, pigments and solvents.

  • Highest percentage of aluminum pigment in the release agent

  • Used when water is neither desirable nor tolerable

  • Fast drying, easy application

  • Minimum buildup

  • Lessens downtime

  • Used when release benefit of an aluminum pigment is required for difficult operations

AIRSET RELEASE 95

Fast-drying release formulated with special release materials, pigments and solvents.

  • Fast drying

  • Used when water is neither desirable nor tolerable

  • Easy application

  • Minimum buildup

  • Lessens downtime

  • Used when release benefit of an aluminum pigment is required for difficult operations

DRY PARTINGS

RELEASE AGENTS

Formulated with the highest quality mineral and chemical materials, these products are easily applied and used to aid in the releasing green sand molds and cores in all metal type applications.  Dry Partings can also be used as an indicator between the cope and drag parting lines for assurance of a good fit.

DRY PARTINGS

Formulated with the highest quality mineral and chemical materials

  • Good release

  • Excellent visibility

  • Easily applied

  • Low waste
