Why Foundries Are Switching

Cut Emissions, Not Corners — 70% less ammonia and formaldehyde than conventional formulas, so you can hit environmental targets without compromising your process.
Built for Tough Conditions — Dramatically better humidity resistance than other environmental grades means fewer headaches on hot, sticky production days.
Keep It Moving — Less lumping means smoother flowability even in humid climates — and less time and labor spent on extra processing.
Strength You Can Count On — Higher tensile strength than any other environmental grade on the market, so you're not trading performance for compliance.

What This Means for Your Bottom Line

Switch with confidence — EcoFlo 3.0 drops right in for your current grade, at a lower resin content, with no disruption to your process.
Grow within your permit — Higher sand tonnage allowance under the same VOC permit tier means more capacity without more red tape.
A better place to work — Lower core-making emissions create a safer, more comfortable environment for your operators.
Faster cycles, more output — Potential to speed up core-making cycle times, adding up to real throughput gains.
Proven in the field — Customers have seen 6–14% resin reductions on real production jobs. That's not a promise — that's a result.

EcoMission Designation

Minimizing our impact on the environment is part of HA's EcoMission. To be recognized as an EcoMission classification, each of our products must meet at least three out of five environmental criteria.

Utilizes water or renewable components - Water-based components used for manufacture.
Utilizes recycled components - Recycled phenol is used for resin manufacture to reduce waste generation, and recycled sand is used when available.
Low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) - Lowest free phenol resins available are used to minimize VOC emissions in the coating operation and in the resin coated sand.
Low Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP) - Lower formaldehyde levels generated at core and mold making and low free phenol contents reduce the HAPs generated during use.
Low Odor -Formulated with a new deodorizer, along with low nitrogen levels and low free phenol levels, resulting in noticeably lower smoke and odor in the core shop.
