SEMCO FF, FD and CC coatings

Coatings to improve economic, social, and environmental sustainability at foundries

Product Overview
The SEMCO family of fast dry (FD), colour change (CC) and formaldehyde free (FF) water-based coatings takes aim at some of the most pressing challenges facing foundries today by reducing energy consumption, optimising drying times, improving core/casting performance, and reducing emissions to create a more sustainable working environment in foundries.
Key Benefits
  • Reduced formaldehyde emissions
  • Colour change on drying enabling the optimisation of drying cycles and energy consumption
  • Fast drying process
  • Reduced energy consumption and VOC
  • Improved foundry efficiency
  • CO2 emission reduction
The SEMCO range coatings overcome the challenges traditionally associated with water-based coatings, while improving the overall health and safety of foundries.

SEMCO coatings: sustainable foundry solutions with eco-friendly benefits

The benefits of water-based coatings have been known for quite some time. As a result, their use has become common in the global foundry industry. However, they remain rare in some sectors of the industry, such as at jobbing foundries, where solvent-based coatings are still prevalent. The SEMCO family of coatings offers the following range of features, which overcome the challenges traditionally associated with water-based coatings (longer and more costly drying processes; reduced mould shop productivity), while improving the overall health and safety of foundries.

  • SEMCO FD for faster drying rates than traditional water-based products
  • SEMCO CC colour-change-on-drying technology for an optimized drying process
  • SEMCO FF to control formaldehyde emissions in compliance with the latest EU regulations
