Kaist Ceramic Foundry Sand Powder, also known as Ceramic Foundry Sand Flour, is a high-performance refractory material specifically engineered for precision industrial applications. Characterized by an ultra-fine particle size below 0.075 mm (mesh 200), this specialized powder is either meticulously separated from sintered ceramic particles or custom-tailored for advanced uses that extend beyond traditional molding and core-making.
Designed to deliver exceptional thermal stability and chemical purity, our Ceramic Sand Powder offers a superior alternative to expensive materials like zircon sand flour. With a high melting point and spherical morphology, it is primarily utilized in high-end foundry coatings and cutting-edge 3D printing processes to ensure flawless casting finishes and structural integrity.

The main difference is the particle size. Ceramic Sand Powder (or Flour) refers to materials with a particle size less than 0.075 mm (below mesh 200), making it suitable for coatings and 3D printing rather than general molding.
Yes, Ceramic Sand Powder is an effective and more economical substitute for zircon sand flour, offering similar benefits in preventing metal penetration and enhancing surface finish.
It provides excellent flowability and requires lower binder addition, which minimizes gas defects and allows for the rapid production of complex casting parts.
The refractoriness of our Ceramic Sand Powder is ≥1800℃, making it suitable for extremely high-temperature casting environments.
It is highly versatile and can be applied via brushing, dipping, swabbing, or spraying, depending on the specific foundry requirement.
Yes, due to its excellent permeability and the ability to use less binder in 3D printing, it significantly helps in avoiding gas holes and internal defects.
