OPTICAST

BENEFITS

Why Choose OPTICAST

Lower Cleaning Time & Higher Throughput

Thanks to its surface characteristics, OPTICAST minimizes adhesion and buildup on cast parts, significantly cutting down cleaning time. This results in smoother operations and increases overall productivity.
Durable, Recyclable, and Cost-Efficient

OPTICAST’s robust ceramic composition resists particle breakdown even under high thermal and mechanical stress. This durability allows for multiple reuses, contributing to lower total media consumption and cost savings over time.
Chemically Inert & Crystalline Silica-Free

OPTICAST is non-hazardous, free of crystalline silica, and chemically stable, making it safer for operators and more environmentally responsible. It also ensures compatibility with a wide range of metals, binders, and resins

FEATURES

Advanced Attributes
of OPTICAST

High Refractoriness for Demanding Pours

OPTICAST ceramic media is engineered to handle high pouring temperatures and prolonged heat loads without structural degradation. This makes it ideal for casting a wide range of metals, including those that require extreme thermal resilience.
Precision Through Low Thermal Expansion

With its exceptionally low linear thermal expansion, OPTICAST helps eliminate common issues such as veining, penetration, and burn-on. This translates into cleaner castings, tighter tolerances, and the ability to produce more intricate and thin-walled components.
Consistent Permeability & Optimized Porosity

The uniform shape and size of OPTICAST particles maximize porosity, allowing gases to escape more efficiently. This reliable permeability reduces the risk of gas-related defects and improves casting quality—especially important for complex geometries and detailed surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
