Abstract:
A foundry binder comprising furfuryl alcohol and hexaalkoxymethylmelamine is disclosed. The binder is substantially anhydrous. In using the binder it is substantially free of formaldehyde odor in the fabrication of the binder, in the production of sand shapes, and in metal foundry pouring operations. The hexaalkoxymethylmelamine does not have to be cooked with the furfuryl alcohol as does formaldehyde in commercial furfuryl alcohol-formaldehyde binders, and yet the binder provides strengths which are comparable to the furfuryl alcohol-formaldehyde binders.
