Abstract
Abstract A binder composition for foundry sands comprises (a) a polyisocyanate compound (e.g., polymethylene polyisocyanate), (b) a polyol compound (e.g., a polyol compound having as its principal constituent a polyether polyol of being at least bifunctional), and (c) an alkylphenol and/or an alkylphenol derivative (e.g., nonylphenol). In this binder composition, the equivalent weight ratio of the isocyanate group of component (a) and the hydroxyl group of component (b) is from 0.3:1 to 3:1, and the quantity of component (c) is 3 to 150 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the sum of the quantities of components (a) and (b).
