Substitute materials of furfuryl alcohol in furan resin used for foundry and their technical properties

Abstract

Based on a special synthesis process of furan resin, the furfuryl alcohol (FA), the main component of typical no-bake furan resins is substituted by ethanol and xylitol mother liquor which is relatively low price and chemically active. Through orthogonal test, the optimal amount of xylitol liquor, ethanol and modifi er has been determined. Finally, the test results on technical properties show that the performance can meet the production requirement well, which indicate a success in this substituting attempt.
