Sand Gaskets and Files

Product
Features
Sand Gasket AF
Various Sizes from
1/8" to 5/8"
Files
Various Sizes in
60, 80, and 120 Grit

Sand Gaskets
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.

Files
HAI offers Files in 60, 80, and 120 Grit in a range of sizes and styles (flat, round, half-round) to meet your needs.
