is a potent carbonaceous Green Sand Additive, developed to replace conventional Coal Dust for imparting finish to castings. "PihKol" high Lustrous Carbon donning carbonaceous material."PihKol" has Lustrous Carbon donning capacity ensuring a proper non wetting barrier between Metal and Mold, giving good peel off to castings, resulting in:
Retention of sand in the system it self.
Lowered WIP in the cleaning of castings.
Reduced Shot Blasting time.

» "PihKol" B
The induction and development of "PihKol" B was to cater to specific demands of certain very discerning foundries, where the addition rates has been reported lower by between 20 to 50% as compared to normal "PihKol", while ensuring better or similar peel off.

This lowered addition rates enabled the foundries to reduce friability of sand, thus, decreasing the possibilities of sand erosion/sand inclusion in castings as well as imparting better finish.

PihKol is offered as :

Specifications PihKol A PihKol C PihKol B PihKol
Volatile Matter 57+ 5 % 63+ 5 % 55+ 5% 68+ 5%

» Usage :
Addition varies from 0.2 to 0.5% based on sand mixed.

The various factors to be considered, among others are:
• Sand : Metal Ratio
• Burn out of the additive
• L0I requirements based on the size, section thickness & heat content of castings

Required quantity of PihKol is added to the sand mix in place of coal dust.

1. Optimizing of various additives like Bentonite; New Sand etc and Monitoring the Sand System to achieve optimum properties of sand.

2. Improved Sand System generally results in decreased Sand Related Rejections.

» Environment :
