Ven-Cast™ is a micronized, surface modified organic fiber derivative. It is composed of solid, elongated, fibrous particles which range in size from a few microns to 1 mm in length. Ven-Cast™ is prepared by chemical and mechanical degradation of selected organic fibers. The extremely fine fibers are chemically modified to produce a novel class of derivatives, having unique properties from most commercially available products.  The primary application of Ven-Cast™ is in sand systems used for casting aluminum, magnesium, brass and bronze alloys.

Ven-Cast™ provides the following benefits:

• improves flowability of the molding sand;
• increases dry strength;
  reduces water requirements;
• develops excellent pattern conformity;
• retains sharp edges of the mold;
• inhibits expansion defects;
• promotes cleaner sand peel;
• has negligible smoke and/or fumes;
• does not waterproof bentonites.
