Companion and Auxiliary 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.

Formulas specifically designed for Cold Box, No-Bake, and Heat Cured processes include solvent based and 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 and is a perfect companion to our Resin Coated Sand products for the Shell process.

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.

KwikDraw HiFlash is 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 designed 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.

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.

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.
