Castrite-PT

Investment for Platinum Jewelry
and Stainless Castings for Orthodontic Brackets
A low cost popular investment for casting
platinum jewelry quickly.
It is a liquid and powder system. The use
of binder provides a relatively faster set compared to CASTRITE-220
(see above). It also improves the green (bench set) and fired
mold strength which greatly improves the castability during
the centrifugal casting process, a process which causes tremendous
strains and stresses on the mold as it rotates.
