Bioset opTa80/85 is a revolutionary reformulation of our current formula, and still provides similar tensile and hot strength compared to Bioset T8000/T8500.
The benefits of Bioset opTa80/85
The benefits of Bioset opTa80/85
- Lower odor, smoke, VOC and HAP emissions at pouring, cooling, and shakeout (compared to standard PUNB)
- Superior tensile strength
- Low free formaldehyde
- High hot strength for ferrous and non-ferrous applications
- Comparable to the original Bioset®T system
FACILITIES
HA-International Announces Further Investment in Chemex Feeder Manufacturing — Toledo, OH
HA-International continues to invest in business development, most recently in domestic manufacturing capabilities at their Toledo, OH facility to support the Chemex Foundry Solutions. The investment in the Toledo facility which has 65,000 sq-ft under roof and 10 acres to expand added infrastructure, coldbox sleeve production with assembly to meet the rapidly increasing demand from North American customers for Chemex Telefeeder Technology. Production was brought online 1st quarter 2021 with the continuation of future investment of $2.5 million in production tooling over the next few years directly affecting supply chain management to intensify capabilities and capacities. The next strategic focus is domestic sourcing of the raw materials and manufacturing of sleeves dry mix to support the expected volume growth. These efforts are to streamline the impact of leadtimes and logistics while providing innovation and value for each customer.
Chemex Foundry Solutions was founded in 1974 in Germany and is a subsidiary of the HA Group with manufacturing locations in Toledo, Ohio, Delligsen, Germany and Istanbul, Turkey. Chemex is a global leader in the field of feeder technology. Nevertheless, the company never rests on its laurels or stops researching and developing new products: As members of the HA Group, HA-International, LLC and Chemex have access to the extensive expertise of one of the world's leading foundry technology suppliers. Offering customers ever better solutions, the company's research and development team is constantly working on and testing new materials and approving them for hand-molding and series production of ferrous and non-ferrous castings.
Chemex feeder systems are especially engineered for challenging castings including intricate designs and molding processes. The exceptional variety of our products assures our customers an optimal selection of feeding systems. The ultramodern method of fabrication with cold box binder systems combined with the innovative Telefeeder technique represents a state of the art in the area of feeder technology. This technology uniquely allows feeder placement in previously inaccessible locations.
