Abstract: Foundary binder, substantially free of inert hydrocarbon solvents, is comprised of a mixture of low molecular weight methylolated phenolic components and a reactive diluent. The binder is mixed with sand and cured with a polyisocyanate in the presence of a catalyst.
Abstract: An improved binder composition for use in the foundry process comprises a mixture of low molecular weight essentially mononuclear methylolated phenols which are cured through a reaction with a polyisocyanate. In the preferred embodiment, a minor amount of polyether polyol, a mutual solvent and a catalyst, preferably an amine catalyst, is mixed with the phenolic component.
Abstract: An improved binder resin is disclosed for use in a foundry process, comprising a major proportion of a resole phenolic resin and a minor proportion of a polyether polyol and a mutual solvent therefor, wherein the polyol has an average molecular weight between about 200 and 5000 and a hydroxy functionality of about 2 to 4. The improved binder is used in the foundry process by mixing it with a polyisocyanate and preferably an amine catalyst.
