Abstract:
A binder composition for making foundry molds comprising an acid hardening resin one or more 5 position substituted furfural compounds selected from the group consisting of 5 hydroxymethylfurfural and 5 acetoxymethylfurfural and one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of urea and derivatives of urea wherein the content of the 5 position substituted furfural compound(s) by percentage is from 1 to 60% by weight of the binder composition. The content of the compound(s) by percentage selected from the group consisting of urea and derivatives of urea is preferably from 0.3 to 10% by weight of the binder composition.
Abstract:
A BINDER COMPOSITION FOR SELF-CURING MOLD FORMATION, COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE CONDENSATE (A) SELECTED FROM FURFURYL ALCOHOL CONDENSATE AND FURFURYL ALCOHOL/FORMALDEHYDE CONDENSATE, AND AN ACID-CURABLE RESIN (B), WHEREIN ABOUT THE CONDENSATE (S).(A), THE PRESENCE RATIO BY MOLE OF ITS/THEIR FURAN RINGS (A) TO THE TOTAL OF ITS/THEIR METHYL GROUPS (B), METHYLENE GROUPS (C) AND OX METHYLENE GROUPS (D), A : (B + C + D), IS FROM 1 :1.00 TO 1 : 1.08, AND THE CONTENT BY PERCENTAGE OF THE AT LEAST ONE CONDENSATE (A) IS FROM 0.3 TO 8.0% BY WEIGHT.
Abstract:
A binder composition for self-curing mold formation, comprising at least one condensate (A) selected from furfuryl alcohol condensate and furfuryl alcohol/formaldehyde condensate, and an acid-curable resin (B), wherein about the condensate (s) (A), the presence ratio by mole of its/their furan rings (a) to the total of its/their methylol groups (b), methylene groups (c) and oxymethylene groups (d), a : (b + c + d), is from 1 : 1.00 to 1 : 1.08, and the content by percentage of the at least one condensate (A) is from 0.3 to 8.0% by weight.
Abstract:
A curing agent composition for making foundry molds, comprising 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid. In a sand composition for making foundry molds, it is preferable to use simultaneously: an acid-hardening resin which contains both a binder composition for making foundry molds which comprises one or more 5-position-substituted furfural compounds selected from the group consisting of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and 5-acetoxymethylfurfural, and the curing agent composition for making foundry molds which comprises 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid. It is preferable that the content of 2, 6-dihydroxybenzoic acid in the curing agent composition is 10 to 80wt%.
