Prolongs the liquid state of metal, thus avoiding shrinkage.
An addition of 1 to 10 % of Carbofoil Expandable Graphite increases effectiveness, thus reducing the volume of other materials used by up to 50%.
Gives a very soft crust and a soft shrinkage pattern.
Description
Expandable Graphite is material based on natural graphite with excellent insulating properties. When heated to 900ºC it expands several times, depending on the grades used. It is extremely effective when used with normal exothermic or insulating type anti-piping compounds, casting powders and bottom poured teeming compounds.
