Farahmand Abhar Chemical Industries, currently in its growth phase and focusing on the foundry, molding, and machining industries, has developed seven prototype products. These include mold release spray, sand mold cleaning solvent, amine gas-cured resins, casting lubricants, plunger oil, emulsifiable oils (water-soluble oils), and anti-seize grease. The company’s goal is to develop and commercialize these specialized materials to meet the needs of domestic industries.
Open-cell ceramic filters are advanced filtering solutions widely used in the casting industry for the purification of molten metals. Featuring a highly porous 3D structure, these filters effectively remove impurities, reduce turbulence in the molten metal flow, and significantly improve the overall quality of cast products.
Key Features & Benefits:
Available in different porosity grades (customizable for various casting processes)
High thermal resistance (up to 1700 °C depending on the ceramic material)
Improved mechanical strength of cast parts
Enhanced surface finish and reduced porosity in final products
Suitable for a wide range of alloys including steel, iron, and non-ferrous alloys
Raw Materials:
Alumina (Al₂O₃)
Silicon Carbide (SiC)
Zirconium Carbide (ZrC)
Manufactured through the polymer sponge replication method, these filters are produced by impregnating polyurethane foam with a ceramic slurry, followed by drying, burning out the polymer, and high-temperature sintering. The result is a durable, highly porous ceramic filter designed to withstand extreme casting conditions.
