AFCICOAL
 
 
AFCICOAL is the range of Petroleum based Coal Tar Pitch Sand Additives an excellent substitute for conventional coal dust, specially developed to overcome the following shortcomings of conventional coal dust : -
  • Serious problems like contamination with iron pyrites, slate, and other minerals, which are injurious to casting finish and quality, are eliminated, by using AFCICOAL.

  • It's Ash Content is maintained at minimum level to avoid reduction in permeability, and refractoriness of sand as faced in conventional coal dust.

  • Inconsistency in volatile matter content of conventional coal dust is eliminated.

  • AFCICOAL disperses throughout the sand grains with minimum mixing effort.
 
 
PHYSICAL STATE
  • AFCICOAL is available in POWDER and LIQUID form.

RECOMMENDED APPLICATION PROCEDURE
  • Add AFCICOAL @ 1.2 % in initial stages where 100 % new sand is used in the mould & generally for 10 % new sand additions, 0.1-0.5 % by weight of AFCICOAL. However actual percentage additions will vary from foundry to foundry.
  • To ensure good results, dry mulling for one minute with AFCICOAL .
  • This percentage will go on reducing with use of reclaimed sand. Proper monitoring & sand control will considerably reduce further addition rates, however this reduction further depends upon.
  • Individual foundry practice Efficiency of sand mixture.
  • Sand to metal ratio.
  • Sandmix temperature & moisture requirements.
  • Quality of new sand used.
  • The nature of clays.
Volatile Matter & Fixed Carbon is adjusted to suit the different mould pressure that gives consistent strength & compactness.
 
SPECIAL FEATURES OF AFCICOAL SAND ADDITIVES
 
  • AFCICOAL is easy to mix & not susceptible to sand & temperature variations.
  • It possesses superior Compression strength.
  • It has good refractoriness & is highly economical due to low additions.
  • It overcomes the problems like mould dialition, scabs, red tails, buckles, pinholes & blowholes etc.
  • It does not fume or smell while pouring is carried out, hence non-hazardous.
  • It has considerably very low moisture content & hence reducing the risk of gas defects.
  • It gives moulds castings excellent surface finish & hence they are dimensionally accurate.
 
STANDARD PACKING
  • AFCICOAL 31/ 32/ 33/ 34 is available in 50 KGS BAGS.
  • AFCICOAL 35L is available in 200 LTRS. BARREL BAGS.
