Resin-coated sand composition and method for producing same

摘要

An improved resin binder for shell-molding operations having improved shake-out properties is disclosed. The resin binder utilizes a lubricant-containing phenolic resin of the novolac or resole type, or a mixture of novolac and resole types, incorporated therewith is an organic chloride. The organic chloride is characterized by having 20% by weight of the heating loss in the temperature range of 130 DEG to 550 DEG C. The organic chloride may be selected from chloride-containing polymers and cyclo-organic chlorides. Chlorinated polymeric material may be selected from polyvinyl chlorides, polyvinyldene chloride resins, chlorinated paraffins and chlorinated polyolefins.
