Abstract
Abstract A sand for making cores and moulds which comprises 100 parts by weight of a refractory filler, between 1.0 and 3.0 parts by weight of a binder, and between 0.4 and 2.0 parts by weight of an acid catalyst of crystal hydrate benzene-sulphonic acid in the form of an 80- to 92-percent solution in methyl alcohol. The present invention makes it possible to prepare a sand for making cores and moulds which displays a cold setting rate and strength higher than ever before. The cold setting rate in terms of the time after mixing at which the pattern or corebox can be removed satisfactorily is not over 1 min. and the compression strength of the sand is at least 60 N/cm 2 at the time of removing the pattern or corebox.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
75 words
A cold setting composition for making cores and molds consisting essentially of 100 parts by weight of a refractory filler, between 1.0 and 3.0 parts by weight of a resol phenol-formaldehyde resin binder and between 0.4 and 2.0 parts by weight of a crystal hydrate benzenesulphonic acid catalyst in the form of an 80- to 92-percent solution in methyl alcohol, whereby said cores and molds have compression strength of at least 60 N/cm 2 .
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
75 words
A cold setting composition for making cores and molds consisting essentially of 100 parts by weight of a refractory filler, between 1.0 and 3.0 parts by weight of a resol phenol-formaldehyde resin binder and between 0.4 and 2.0 parts by weight of a crystal hydrate benzenesulphonic acid catalyst in the form of an 80- to 92-percent solution in methyl alcohol, whereby said cores and molds have compression strength of at least 60 N/cm 2 .
