Companion Products
HA International offers a comprehensive line of Companion products to complement the foundry process. Key product line offerings in this area include metal cleaners, release agents and shell hesives; all a perfect match for our Resin and Resin Coated Sand products.
AcAttack is a non-chlorinated blend of ingredients formulated for cleaning tooling and core boxes. This companion product can be used in conjunction with our complete line of Resin and Resin Coated Sand products. This family of products comes in 2 grades: high reactivity and medium reactivity formulas created to meet your unique foundry needs.
Our Nix Stix family of releases agents are designed specifically to complement our Resin product offerings. We have formulas specifically designed for Cold Box, No-Bake, and Heat Cured processes. This family of products also include Low Volatile Organic Compound (LVOC) formulas to meet your environmental needs. Key advantages of this product line are the reduction in build-up on tooling, rapid drying, better core definition, and easier stripping of cores.
Our ShellWeld product line offers both ready to use and high viscosity hot shell core and mold pastes that can be applied directly to hot shell cores and molds. When applied to a hot shell core or mold, ShellWeld does not boil or dry out rapidly, thus allowing machine operators sufficient time to position cores and mold halves. Our ShellWeld products also utilize a renewable resource (vegetable oil) as the liquid carrier. ShellWeld is a perfect companion to our Resin Coated Sand products for the Shell process.
Auxiliary Products
HA International offers a extensive line of Auxiliary products to complete all of your foundry needs. Key product line offerings in this area include core pastes, green sand partings, powder core pastes, mudding compounds, solvents, hydrometers, sand gaskets and files.
Our core paste adhesive line, CoreWeld, comes in two forms, standard and thick, to offer the most variability in set up time. Our water based formula is a ready to use air dry pink paste that is silica free. It is ideal for automatic dispensing systems because it does not contain material that will abrade or wear out equipment. Our acetone based formula utilizes a fast drying organic solvent that is not classified as a VOC or HAP and is strong in tensile strength and green in color for easy application.

Our KwikDraw product line is formulated as an economical green sand release agent that demonstrates excellent release characteristics with all types of
automated molding machines. Our product line includes KwikDraw HiSolids, a highly concentrated premium green sand release agent that
gives improved
green sand casting surfaces with reduced incidence of sand erosion, scabbing and
other surface gas defects, and KwikDraw HiFlash, a low viscosity green sand release agent with a very high flash
point hydrocarbon designed for high production molding machines.
Our powder core paste, PowderWeld, is supplied as a dry powder meant to be mixed with water to the customer
desired consistency/viscosity. PowderWeld resists water pickup in stored molds and resists metal penetration along seams and can be utilized with all types of resin systems.
HAI's SlikTite product line offers a wide range of mudding compounds to meet all of your foundry needs. SlikTite Steel is a graphite free mudding compound designed for use by steel foundries
but applicable to all metals. SlikTite Soft, Medium, and Stiff are a graphite mudding compound designed for general purpose use with gray and ductile iron.
EZ Lite Reducer is a custom-formulated, ethanol-based reducer designed to be
fully compatible with HAI’s EZ Lite refractory coatings. EZ Lite Reducer requires no
special licensing and when used to dilute EZ Lite refractory coatings, optimizes their
performance characteristics.
Reducer 999 is a 99% isopropyl alcohol reducer used as a general purpose dilutent for alcohol
based coatings, it is classified as a VOC. Reducer 999 is designed for
use with HAI’s isopropyl alcohol based coatings.
Hydrometers, Sand Gaskets, and Files
Hydrometers are used to measure baume'. Baume' is measured on a scale of numbers related to the specific gravity of a liquid, solution, or dispersion of particular matter in a liquid. HAI offers two baume' scales - one for liquids heavier than water (60-100), and one for liquids lighter than water (0-70).
Sand gaskets are an extruded, rubber-like rope to be laid on the parting line of the mold which helps prevent “fins” and “run-outs” by providing a soft, pliable seal between cope and drag. Upon pouring, sand gaskets completely disintegrate to an ash and do not contaminate sand systems. It is a one-step application for effectively sealing your mold and is perfect for both the large, high production foundry and for the small jobbing shop.
HAI offers Files in 60, 80, and 120 Grit in a range of sizes and styles (flat, round, half-round) to meet your needs.
