Metal casting is characterised by extremely high temperatures and constant contact with aggressive molten metals. Boron nitride is the ideal solution here, as it is extremely resistant to thermal shock and, at the same time, chemically resistant to many molten metals. The use of boron nitride products significantly extends the service life of the tools used and markedly improves process reliability in foundries.

Thanks to the excellent and easy machinability of solid boron nitride, an enormous variety of geometries can be realized exactly according to customer requirements. Our solid HeBoSint® materials are therefore preferred for the production of crucibles, nozzles and a wide variety of molded parts for metal casting .

Our liquid HeBoCoat® coatings are essential in metal casting to provide the necessary release properties for mould materials and refractory materials. This non-stick effect reduces wear on plant components, makes subsequent cleaning considerably easier and thus improves the overall efficiency of the process.

Although aluminum is light and economical, in its liquid or plastic state it places extremely high demands on systems, tools and processing aids. The constantly increasing quality demands in aluminum casting require an absolutely reliable coating of the refractory materials used. HeBoCoat® products have exactly the right combination of properties needed to meet these high requirements in the long term.
