MTI Minerals Technologies Corporation

Volclay ® Western (Sodium) Bentonite (DC-2) is the world standard for high-quality, natural sodium bentonite. Volclay is used in all green sand molding applications, ranging from the production of iron and steel castings to the production of non-ferrous castings. Volclay provides quality castings with low casting losses, excellent finish, and good dimensional reproducibility at the lowest possible cost. Other benefits include versatility and ease of-control, increased dry strength of molding sand, excellent hot strength properties, and high durability. Additrol also facilitates deep-draws and development of sharp, strong, mold edges.

Panther Creek ® Southern (Calcium) Bentonite (DC-6) is a non-swelling, calcium bentonite used in green sand molding. Panther Creek provides greater green compression strength than western bentonite, fireclay or other clay minerals. Panther Creek® also offers excellent shakeout, good rammability, excellent flowability, and low dry and hot compression strength.
