lustronite-overview

Overview

LUSTRONITE® is a proprietary synergy of LUSTRON® and SANDIRON®, combining advanced lustrous carbon technology with high-performance bentonite to deliver superior mould strength, thermal resistance, reduced metal penetration, smoother cast surfaces, and exceptional dimensional integrity. It ensures easy shakeout, minimizes burn-on and scabbing, and provides consistent, high-quality performance across demanding ferrous and non-ferrous foundry applications.

Benefits

Single-Shot Strength & Surface Finish

Acts as a single shot additive for both green strength and surface finish, with high green compression strength.

Excellent Anti-Scabbing & Peel-Off

Good anti-scabbing properties resulting in excellent peel-off, while optimizing overall additive consumption.

Versatile Across Ferrous & Non-Ferrous Castings

Delivers consistent results in ferrous applications and can also be used for non-ferrous castings like copper-based alloys.
