Definitions

  • the present invention relates to synthetic resin-based systems, such as furan resins, to be used, in combination with suitable curing agents, as binders in mixtures with silica sand or other granular masses, for the production of foundry moulds and cores.
  • the aforesaid foundry binder systems normally consist of two or more components which are mixed with sand or other granular masses in order to subsequently produce the shapes or cores into which or around which the molten metal will be poured.
  • furan no-bake binder systems such as, for example, those described in pages 30-34 of the publication " No-bake cores and molds", published in 1980 by the American Foundrymen's Society , and incorporated herein for reference.
  • binder systems consist of two liquids (furan resin and acidic curing agent) which, when added to the sand, produce, with no heating needed, cores and moulds which are suitable for the production of ferrous and non-ferrous metal castings.
  • the furan resin is substantially constituted of furfuryl alcohol varyingly condensed with formaldehyde, and - if necessary - modified with ureic, melamine, and phenolic resins and various additives.
  • the condensation reaction normally takes place in the presence of an acidic catalyst, such as, for example, acetic acid.
  • an acidic catalyst such as, for example, acetic acid.
  • Furan resins used in the no-bake systems are described, for example, in pages B320-6 to B320-15 of the publication " Manuel des sables à prise chimique", published by the Centre Technique des Industries de la Fonderie in 1993 , incorporated herein for reference. Furan resins are also described in US2343972 , US4634723 , and US 5459183 , incorporated herein for reference.
  • the acidic curing agent has the function of creating the strongly acidic environment (usually below pHl) needed to cause the sand/resin mixture to cure.
  • the acidic curing agent usually consists of a hydroalcoholic or aqueous solution of one or more sulphonic acids, if necessary, mixed with other organic or inorganic acids.
  • sulphonic acids are benzenesulphonic acid, toluenesulphonic acid, xylene sulphonic acid, cumene sulphonic acid, phenolsulphonic acid, and methanesulphonic acid, or mixtures thereof.
  • toluenesulphonic acid is by far the most used.
  • the curing agent consists of orthophosphoric acid, either alone or mixed with sulphonic acids.
  • Orthophosphoric acid brings drawbacks related to the formation - as a result of the casting heat - of non-volatile compounds, which accumulate in the sand and lower the refractoriness during subsequent reuse.
  • Another component of the inorganic curing agents is sulphuric acid, which is almost always present in sulphonic acids in small amounts, as the residue of the sulphonation process.
  • sulphuric acid is intentionally added to curing agents to increase the strength thereof. Sulphuric acid, however, is an often undesired component for both environmental reasons (unpleasant odours) and for reasons of quality in relation to highly critical castings.
  • Patent application WO 2012/080454A1 relates to a low-emission cold-curing resin for the foundry industry with a furfuryl alcohol content of below 25%, a formaldehyde conversion product content of 40% or above, and an assumed free formaldehyde content of below 0.5%, which uses an organic acid with a pKa of 2.5 or above, and/or the salts thereof, as an acidic catalyst for condensation.
  • the aforesaid alkyl esters of phosphorous acid and/or phosphoric acid may have a pKa below 2.5. They are preferably C 1 -C 8 alkyl esters, even more preferably diesters, such as dimethyl phosphate, diethyl phosphate, dipropyl phosphate, dibutyl phosphate, bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate, dimethyl phosphite, diethyl phosphite, dipropyl phosphite and dibutyl phosphite; particularly preferred esters have proved to be dibutyl phosphite, dibutyl phosphate, and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate.
  • diesters such as dimethyl phosphate, diethyl phosphate, dipropyl phosphate, dibutyl phosphate, bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate, dimethyl phosphite
  • one aim of the present invention consists, therefore, of the use of at least one alkyl ester of phosphorous acid and/or phosphoric acid and/or a salt thereof as an acidic catalyst for the manufacture of foundry binder mixtures, for example those of the 'no-bake' type.
  • a further aim of the invention also consists of a mixture usable as a foundry binder, for example of the no-bake type, containing:
  • Formaldehyde conversion products is understood as the products resulting from the condensation between formaldehyde and furfuryl alcohol and, optionally, components other than furfuryl alcohol and/or products deriving from the condensation between formaldehyde and one or more compounds other than furfuryl alcohol.
  • the aforesaid compounds other than furfuryl alcohol can be: urea, melamine, phenol or derivatives thereof; the phenol derivatives are preferably C 6 -C 25 organic compounds containing at least one phenolic radical or at least one benzene radical with two, three or four hydroxyl groups, such as diphenols (for example resorcinol), alkylphenols (for example ortho-cresol, meta-cresol and/or para-cresol), bisphenols (such as 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol).
  • diphenols for example resorcinol
  • alkylphenols for example ortho-cresol, meta-cresol and/or para-cresol
  • bisphenols such as 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol
  • the said mixture has a water content no greater than 20% by weight and, preferably, no greater than 15% by weight.
  • the mixture has the following composition by weight:
  • the one alkyl ester of phosphorous acid aaid/or phosphoric acid and/or a salt thereof is present in the mixture in quantities ranging from between 0.1% and 5.0% by weight, and preferably between 0.3% and 2.0% by weight, with respect to the weight of the mixture.
  • the alkyl ester of phosphorous acid and/or phosphoric acid may be chosen from dibutyl phosphite, dibutyl phosphate and bis(2-ethylhexyl phosphate).
  • the mixture may contain further components, such as, for example:
  • a further aim of the present invention consists of a process for the production of the aforesaid mixture usable as a foundry binder, wherein a mixture containing:
  • formaldehyde is used in the form of paraformaldehyde, in particular paraformaldehyde with a 89-91% by-weight content of formaldehyde.
  • the mixture thus obtained is then cooled to a temperature ranging from 55 to 65°C and subjected to a further treatment to lower the free formaldehyde content to a value below 0.5%.
  • a phenolic compound preferably chosen from among C 6 -C 25 organic compounds containing at least one phenolic radical or at least one benzene radical with two, three or four hydroxyl groups, such as diphenols (for example resorcinol), alkylphenols (for example cresoles or xylenols), bisphenols (such as 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol).
  • the mixture Upon reaching a free formaldehyde content below 0.5% by weight, the mixture is cooled to below 35°C, additivised with compounds able to increase adhesion between the binder system and the grains of sand, such as - for example - silanes, preferably including 3-aminopropyl triethoxy silane, 3-(Diethoxymethyl-silyl)propylamine), 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane and any additives capable of reducing viscosity (for example, ethanol or benzyl alcohol) or the reactivity of the sand/resin/curing agent mixture (for example glycols).
  • silanes preferably including 3-aminopropyl triethoxy silane, 3-(Diethoxymethyl-silyl)propylamine), 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane and any additives capable of reducing viscosity (for example, ethanol or benzyl alcohol) or the reactivity of the

  • the aforesaid solution may contain one or more sulphonic acids, such as - for example - benzenesulphonic acid, toluenesulphonic acid, xylene sulphonic acid, cumene sulphonic acid, phenolsulphonic acid, methanesulphonic acid, if necessary, mixed with other organic or inorganic acids.
  • the aforesaid solution may also contain orthophosphoric acid, either alone or mixed with sulphonic acids.
  • the binder system may be composed of 0.2-0.8 parts by weight acidic curing agent and 0.6-1.5 parts by weight binder mixture, preferably from 0.3-0.6 parts by weight acidic curing agent and 0.7-1.2 parts by weight binder mixture.
  • the cores and/or moulds according to the present invention may be composed of 0.2-0.8 parts by weight acidic curing agent, 0.6-1.5 parts by weight binder mixture, and 80-120 parts by weight sand and/or other refractory material; preferably, such cores and/or moulds contain 100 parts by weight sand and/or other refractory material, 0.3-0.6 parts by weight acidic curing agent, and 0.7-1.2 parts by weight binder mixture.
