Adhesives
In the foundry, there are various applications for products designed to be used in assembling and solidly bonding mold and core sections, or for sealing or repair purposes.
Such products very often represent a critical factor in production of qualitatively superior castings. The HÜTTENES-ALBERTUS product line thus includes an appropriate adhesive for nearly every possible application. Products that have stood the test of time are continuously improved. And our efforts are constantly directed toward development of new products to meet customer demands.
Depending on their intended use and basic composition, our products may be assigned to the following product name groups:
Kaltkleber
Adhesives based on waterglass of various viscosities, these are all-purpose products whose air cure can be accelerated by applying heat.
Kaltkleber 5988 R
Specialty adhesives based on an aqueous styrene-acrylic emulsion, these products give up water to develop high bonding power, and are suitable for cold bonding sections of polystyrene foam into the patterns used for the ?lost foam? process.
Heisskleber
Adhesives based on polysaccharides, these products cure by oven drying, and are particularly used for bonding of hot box and cold box molding materials.
Maskenkleber
Adhesives based on thermally curing synthetic resins, these products harden by a reaction analogous to that in the shell molding process, and are particularly suitable for use in hot curing (hot box, shell molding) processes.
Schnellkleber
These are adhesives that undergo rapid cure due to evaporation of highly volatile solvents.
Mikrowellenkleber
These are special-purpose adhesives that are mechanically applied and subsequently cured by exposure to microwave radiation.
Spezialkleber
These are hot-melt adhesives used for assembly work and as special-purpose sealing compounds.
