Ceramcast high-performance ceramic sand is a premium spherical casting medium engineered for the most demanding foundry environments. By combining a precise mineralogical composition of Mullite and Corundum with a highly controlled spherical geometry, Ceramcast provides an exceptional solution for high-end sand casting where surface precision and thermal stability are critical.
Designed to outperform traditional silica and fused ceramic sands, this material offers superior refractoriness and a low thermal expansion coefficient. Whether utilized in 3D sand printing, cold box processes, or resin-coated systems, Ceramcast ensures a significant reduction in casting defects such as sintering and veining, while promoting a greener, more sustainable foundry operation through an industry-leading 98% reclamation rate.

Spherical shapes, like those in Ceramcast, improve breathability and flowability, which directly results in higher surface accuracy and fewer gas-related defects in the cast parts.
Yes, it is a neutral material designed to be compatible with both acid and alkali resins, making it versatile for various foundry binder systems.
Ceramcast supports both mechanical and thermal reclamation methods, allowing foundries to recover up to 98% of the material for reuse.
While we have standard distributions (e.g., 20/40, 40/70, 100/200), the particle size distribution can be fully customized according to your specific technical requirements.
It is ideal for high-end casting of steel, iron, aluminum, copper, and various other alloy castings due to its high refractoriness.
Due to its lower bulk density (1.45-1.6g/cm3), you can produce approximately 25% more sand cores with the same weight of material compared to fused ceramic sands.
