ABSTRACT:
A foundry mould binder is manufactured at least one acid selected from the group consisting of glycolic acid, lactic acid, .alpha.-hydroxy butyric acid, valerolactic acid, .alpha.-hydroxy-caproic acid, tartronic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, mucic acid, citric acid, gluconic acid, and glyceric acid, with a precipitant for the acid, and water, the water being present in an amount no greater than 2 times the weight of the total acid content, calculated on that acid content being in a water free state. The precipitant is for admixture with or contains the equivalent to at least 50% of the stoichiometric requirement of the total acid content of the binder component when the total acid content is in solution, said precipitant comprising at least one substance selected from the group consisting of calcium carbonate and substances composed essentially of calcium carbonate, said precipitant being substantially non-fluxing with the foundry sand, and substantially non-reactive with respect to other mould components than the said acid, and substantially non-reactive with respect to metal which is to be cast in the mould. The precipitant is preferably ground limestone, and the binder component may further include at least one humectant (e.g. sorbitol) admixed with the remainder to retard the loss of mould tensile strength during periods of low humidity.
