Publication number: 20080207796Abstract: Broadly, the invention provides for newly available bio-derived formaldehyde free furanic materials for aggregate binding. The specific example case is aggregate binding for forms used in the metal casting process. The new materials make possible higher productivity and lower phenol, formaldehyde, urea, and/or furfuryl alcohol content in the metal casting form-making process. It is expected that the formulations will work well in other aggregate binding situations as well.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2007Publication date: August 28, 2008Inventors: Michael C. Clingerman, Alex W. Kawczak, James T. Schneider

Patent number: 5856375Abstract: Broadly, the present invention relates to furan no-bake foundry binders where bisphenol A tar (BPAT) is used to replace a portion of the furfuryl alcohol and any conventional filler optionally included in for binder formulation. Reduction in the amount of furfuryl alcohol in the foundry binder formulation may lead to a reduction in the cost and an improvement in early strength of these formulations. Accordingly, in a furan no-bake foundry binder of a resin derived from a major proportion of furfuryl alcohol and optionally fillers, the improvement which comprises at least a fraction of said furfuryl alcohol being bisphenol A tar. Bisphenol A tar also can replace at least a fraction of any filler included in the binder formulation.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 1996Date of Patent: January 5, 1999Assignee: Ashland, Inc.Inventors: Ken K. Chang, Michael C. Clingerman, Michelle L. Lott, James T. Schneider

Patent number: 5688857Abstract: This invention relates to polyurethane-forming cold-box binders and foundry mixes prepared with these binders. The binder comprises a polyol component and an organic polyisocyanate component. Foundry mixes are prepared by mixing the binder with a foundry aggregate. Foundry shapes (molds and cores) are prepared by shaping the mix and curing the foundry shape with a gaseous tertiary amine curing catalyst.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 1996Date of Patent: November 18, 1997Assignee: Ashland Inc.Inventors: Chia-hung Chen, James T.
