Investment Wax Casting Solutions

The Investment Wax Casting industry is continuing to experience substantial market growth as anticipated. Also known as “Lost Wax Casting”, this molding technique is used to accurately and precisely produce complex parts that would be difficult to achieve through more conventional manufacturing methods.

Its prosperity can largely be attributed to sectors like aerospace and automotive, enhanced automation, the push for lightweighting in components and an adaption of rapid prototyping. Additional industries that are benefitting include medical/orthopedics, agriculture and construction.

Investment Wax Casting often requires the use of mold cleaners, mold releases and rust preventives. Slide has a number of solutions available, including two new food-safe, water soluble, non-silicone mold releases specifically engineered for these processes: Non-Silicone Wax Pattern 3% Mold Release and Non-Silicone Wax Pattern 5% Mold Release.

The Slide team is exhibiting at the Industry Technical Conference and Expo in Pittsburgh from September 28 – October 1.
