FILTECH October 22 – 24, 2019 Cologne – Germany The Filtration Event www.Filtech.de SPECIAL: GIFA 2019 ASK Chemicals uses its own technical center to increase the effectiveness of the products, thus providing users with added value such as: lower resource consumption.

The advantages for customers: considerable time and money is saved in the production of prototypes and spare parts. In addition to this, process reliability is increased by the elimination of core assembly, while designers are enthusiastic about the unlimited design potential. There are many different application areas for the castings, which weigh between 100 and 1,000 kg. Heinrich lists them: “They are used in lorries, construction equipment, agriculture and forestry management, solar farms and wind turbines, rolling stock, machine manufacturing in general and hydraulics, our new product segment”. BDG executive Troglio summarizes: “Such technologies can help to save a great deal of time and energy when tooling is being built, particularly where prototypes and short series are concerned”. Products with greater impact The progress that has been made with organic bonding agents and the use of inorganic bonding agents of the kind developed by, for example, foundry supplier ASK Chemicals, Hilden, Germany, also improves environmental performance. Dr. Jens Müller, Research and Development Manager at ASK Chemicals, explains: “We are focusing primarily on increasing the impact of our products and on generating added value for our customers, as – for example – material input can be decreased and the total potential emissions can be reduced as a consequence.” The company has succeeded in developing the first unmarked phenolic resin in the world for the cold box process in iron casting. A hazardous product is therefore not needed in this process. Müller adds: “There are other advantages apart from the environmental benefits: The particularly high reactivity of this new system makes it possible to reduce bonding agent and catalyst volumes in many cases.” Inorganic bonding systems are becoming increasingly important in aluminium casting. ASK Chemicals is also noticing greater awareness of sustainable products. Müller thinks that “this is certainly driven by the fact that the general conditions in Europe particularly have become more demanding due to the implementation of relevant regulations” and is therefore delighted that product developments for protection of the environment are successful above and beyond this too: “Initially, no-one really believed that the technology of inorganic bonding systems would replace conventional processes. This may be attributable to the fact that there are technological and economic benefits in addition to the original environmental aspect. Now it is an established feature in lightweight metal permanent casting.“ Environmental, economic, social Sustainability cannot, after all, always be considered solely at the environmental level. Elke Radtke, who is responsible for environmental protection as well as occupational health and safety at BDG, also thinks that “sustainability involves economic and social action too. As an association, we provide information about the regulations that affect the foundry industry. Our observation is that legal regulations designed to protect the environment often fail in particular to take social and economic factors into sufficient account. Wherever appropriate, small and medium-sized companies especially also need to be able to adapt processes and take advantage of new technologies. Because operations that are not economic lead in the long run to failure, which in turn jeopardizes jobs. That is not sustainable at the social level.”
