M028

This is our most popular Industrial Investment and was formulated in our laboratory for the production of high accuracy, thin-walled Aluminium castings and other low temperature, non-ferrous alloys for the aerospace industry.

M456

This has been developed for thin-walled castings, in particular those containing vented channels where the inner wall integrity is vital, and the ease of removal of the investment after casting is essential; this may often be required when casting military parts, for example in the new Eurofighter aircraft.

M464

This is our latest addition to the range of industrial casting powders. M464 has been especially formulated to produce a more permeable mould which can cast at lower flask temperatures and will break away from the casting more readily.
