Christy Minerals Fused Silica Advanced Shell System WDS3

Highlights

• Non-fiber-based shell system creates thicker and faster shell build
• Improved permeability helps reduce non-fill and autoclave cracking
• Fiber-free composition makes slurry easier to maintain through a wide range of viscosities
• Without fibers, slot and hole coverage is simplified
• Unique slurry rheology substantially shortens drain times to increase foundry output
• Improved load carrying ability to reduce handling damage and cracking

Christy Minerals Fused Silica Advanced Shell System WDS3 (wide distribution slurry) is a dry blend of fused silica and high-performance additives used for investment casting backup slurries. Featuring increased shell build and improved permeability, this product helps to reduce dips and minimize autoclave shell cracking.

Run Fast, Build Strong

Thanks to its unique slurry rheology, Christy Minerals Fused Silica Advanced Shell System WDS3 helps you increase foundry output. That’s due to its ability to substantially shorten drain times – in turn shortening the investment casting process. Plus, since each foundry has different requirements, Christy Minerals Fused Silica Advanced Shell System WDS3 is engineered with built-in flexibility, and the slurry can be adjusted for specific application needs while simultaneously building robust shell thickness.

Optimized for Better Slot and Hole Coverage

Our Fused Silica Advanced Shell System WDS3 is a specifically designed, high-performance product used for investment casting backup slurries. Its shell build provides uniform coverage of corners and edges while still addressing the flow needed to fill slots and holes in difficult investment castings.

A Pure Product

Our revolutionary furnace design helps prevent the raw silica sand from becoming contaminated during processing – resulting in a finished product that is 99.7% pure, while increasing productivity tenfold over conventional furnaces.
