Binder Matches Phenolic Urethane Performance, Reduces HAPs, VOCs
A uniquely formulated resin system has been designed to react with specific polyisocyanate co-reactants and amine catalysts.

The result is a core and mold binder system that offers comparable latent reactivity characteristics to that of conventional phenolic urethanes, but with significantly reduced odor and hazardous emissions. Emission testing has shown a reduction in total HAPs of over 50% and VOC reductions of almost 60%. While the system is a three-part urethane, it may be used as a suitable replacement for any chemical binder system. Read more
