Bioset opTa80/85 is a revolutionary reformulation of our current formula, and still provides similar tensile and hot strength compared to Bioset T8000/T8500.

The benefits of Bioset opTa80/85

• Lower odor, smoke, VOC and HAP emissions at pouring, cooling, and shakeout (compared to standard PUNB)
• Superior tensile strength
• Low free formaldehyde
• High hot strength for ferrous and non-ferrous applications
• Comparable to the original Bioset^®T system

Chemex Foundry Solutions was founded in 1974 in Germany and is a subsidiary of the HA Group with manufacturing locations in Toledo, Ohio, Delligsen, Germany and Istanbul, Turkey. Chemex is a global leader in the field of feeder technology. Nevertheless, the company never rests on its laurels or stops researching and developing new products: As members of the HA Group, HA-International, LLC and Chemex have access to the extensive expertise of one of the world's leading foundry technology suppliers. Offering customers ever better solutions, the company's research and development team is constantly working on and testing new materials and approving them for hand-molding and series production of ferrous and non-ferrous castings.

Chemex feeder systems are especially engineered for challenging castings including intricate designs and molding processes. The exceptional variety of our products assures our customers an optimal selection of feeding systems. The ultramodern method of fabrication with cold box binder systems combined with the innovative Telefeeder technique represents a state of the art in the area of feeder technology. This technology uniquely allows feeder placement in previously inaccessible locations.

Features:

• 3 grades – 45, 60, and 80 GFN available to meet the demands of iron and steel foundries
• Packaged at the manufacturer to reduce dust during transport improving turbidity and tendency for segregation improving overall quality
• Highest chilling properties as a result of high Cr2O3 percentage and less than 1% SiO2 content
• Low turbidity
• High melting point

Benefits:

• Lower cost in use versus zircon
• Highest chilling properties of any molding media for thicker solidified skin
• Excellent thermal conductivity for castings with heavy sections for better surface finish
• Reduced cleaning time and improved surface finish in comparison to other sand, additives, and coating applications

Features:

• High refractoriness
• Low linear thermal expansion
• Tough, durable in performance – Uniform and spherical in size and shape
• Chemically inert and non-hazardous, contains no crystalline silica

 Benefits:

• Maximize tensile with less resin
• Withstands high temperature pours of various metal castings
• Increases dimensional precision and ability to pour complex parts
• Reduces expansion-related defects
• Reduces casting cleaning times
• Increases production, reduces particle breakdown, and supports recycle use
• High permeability, lower resin - reduces gas-related defects and associated costs
• Improved quality, health, safety, and sustainability
