Attapulgite for Foundry (ObsiFerrum)

ObsiFerrum™ is a high-performance foundry-grade attapulgite engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern casting and refractory systems. With its unique rod-shaped crystal structure, exceptional thixotropic behavior, and optimized absorption capacity, ObsiFerrum™ delivers superior rheological control, binding strength, and thermal stability across a wide spectrum of foundry chemical formulations.

Designed for consistent performance in complex casting environments, ObsiFerrum™ enhances mold integrity, improves coating cohesion, reduces casting defects, and supports the production of high-quality metal components. Its ability to rapidly shear-thin and recover makes it ideal for advanced processes such as slurry coatings, precision molding, and additive-manufactured refractory components.

ObsiFerrum™ offers foundries a reliable, cost-effective solution for achieving better flow characteristics, cleaner casting surfaces, and improved production efficiency.

Key Features

Premium foundry-grade attapulgite
Superior thixotropic and suspension-stabilizing properties
Strong binding and thermal resistance in molding systems
Enhanced cohesion in refractory coatings and slurry formulations
Excellent pumpability and reduced rebound in spray-applied refractories
Low impurity profile for clean, consistent chemical integration
Optimized for both low- and high-temperature foundry processes
Highly compatible with resin systems, green sands, and refractory additives

Applications

Green sand molding systems — improves bonding, moisture control, and mold integrity
Resin-coated sand production — enhances thermal resistance and reduces gas-related defects
Refractory coatings & wash formulations — increases suspension stability, reduces sagging, and improves coating uniformity
Wet-spray refractory materials — offers better pumpability, cohesion, and reduced rebound loss
Core-making and special-shaped casting components — supports precision shaping due to rapid thixotropic recovery
Additive-manufactured refractories (3D printed) — improves shape retention and early-stage strength
High-end industrial and automotive foundries — suitable for iron, steel, and non-ferrous casting systems
Bulk supply for foundry chemical manufacturers and refractory processors
