How MouldMax Works
In every green sand foundry, the interaction between bentonite and water determines everything — mould strength, surface finish, casting quality, and rejection rates. But bentonite activation is inherently inefficient. Only a fraction of the clay fully hydrates during mixing, leaving "lazy" bentonite that consumes your budget without contributing to mould performance.
MouldMax is a water-based catalyst that works at the molecular level to promote more efficient ion exchange between water and bentonite clay. Added at just 0.5% of the water used in your sand plant, it accelerates and deepens bentonite activation — ensuring rapid, consistent clay performance from the mixer to the mould.
The effect is measurable within 24 hours: higher green compression strength at lower moisture levels, reduced free moisture (which means less spurting and fewer blow defects), and improved mould hardness consistency. Over time, foundries typically see a 10–15% reduction in bentonite consumption because more of each kg is actually working.
The Science Behind MouldMax
MouldMax enhances water's resistance to evaporation when exposed to heat. Technically, more latent heat energy is required to evaporate each unit of MouldMax-treated water compared to untreated water. This means moisture stays available longer during moulding, giving bentonite more time to fully activate and maintain its bond strength through pouring.
This has a cascading effect across your sand system: reduced free moisture means fewer gas defects, better dimensional accuracy, and more consistent compactability readings across shifts. The improved moisture retention also reduces the need for compensatory additions of specialty bentonite or supplementary binders like dextrin.
Direct Savings with MouldMax
Raw Material Savings
10–15% reduction in bentonite consumption. Reduced water usage due to optimized bentonite-water interaction. Eliminates need for specialty bentonite and supplementary binders.
Operational Efficiency
Faster bentonite activation leads to shorter mixing cycles. Enhanced mould quality means consistent hardness, reduced leakage and mould crack. Improved workability and flowability of the sand.
Quality & Productivity
Reduced casting rejections and re-work. Fewer defects from free moisture — spurting, blowholes, scabbing. Increased mould productivity due to faster cycles and fewer stoppages.
Simple Implementation
MouldMax is added at 0.5% of all water that comes in contact with your green sand. This includes water in the sand mixer, sand cooler, and any other point where water enters the system. The product is a non-hazardous liquid with a pH of 7.5–8.0, completely soluble in water, and safe to handle without special equipment.
Most foundries implement MouldMax using a simple dosing pump connected to their water line. No changes to your sand plant layout, raw materials, or operating procedures are required. Results are typically visible within 1–3 days of starting treatment.
