Abstract

Foundry moulds or cores are made by putting a mixture of foundry sand and acid-hardenable binder into a mould or core box, hardening the binder by passing an acidic gas through the mixture, removing the mould or core from the box and applying to its surface a material which will neutralise or adsorb acidic gases. The neutralising or adsorbent material permits avoidance of the health hazard of emission of acidic gas from the mould or core on storage or during use.
