Novis Works® LLC is a specialty chemical company located in Northeastern, Ohio that developed and uses the continuous blending method of manufacturing. The use of continuous blending offers these advantages.

  • Continuous blending results in superior quality because all of the chemicals are metered at the precise ratios into the mixing chamber, therefore, all the material sees the same mix action.

  • Our continuous blending method demonstrates a measurable improvement in performance.

  • We maintain a precise temperature window which we have found increases product performance.

  • We make only the desired quantity.

  • We blend directly into the shipping container which minimizes handling of the product and results in zero waste.


RESINS


HyperSET® - Epoxy/Acrylic SO2 Cold Box System
An Epoxy/Acrylic SO2 cured cold box product. Versatile cold-box product that has multiple benefits for the user in many ferrous and non-ferrous applications as well as coarse aggregates. The 2050/3050 system "package" was developed for increased front-end tensile development, improved humidity resistance and higher hot strength.

HyperFUSE® - Phenolic Urethane No Bake System
A Phenolic Urethane no-bake resin system using a liquid catalyst as the curing component. The products are formulated to deliver optimal core/mold properties and economical benefits by allowing the operator to use a minimal amount of catalyst for complete core/mold cure.

HyperFUSE® NF - Polyol Urethane No Bake System
A Polyol Urethane no-bake resin system designed for non-ferrous applications using a liquid catalyst as the curing component. The system was developed for increased early tensile development, improved humidity resistance and improved shakeout. The HyperFUSE® 50/60 system is designed with zero solvents to meet metalcasters requirements.

HyperCURE® - Phenolic Urethane Cold Box System
The Phenolic Urethane Cold Box resin system utilizes an amine gas to catalyze the reaction of a formulated phenolic resin and an isocyanate component. The systems have built in benefits to drive faster cycle times, high mechanical properties and desirable thermal characteristics to drive performance in complex cores.


RELEASE AGENTS


HyperSLICK® - Innovative Release Agent
Formulated to deliver optimal release properties and economical benefits by allowing the operator to apply a minimal amount of product without the need to recoat the core box or pattern every few cycles. Being a 100% solids product, the worry of solvent evaporation hazards are eliminated. A Low Viscosity, solvent-free environmentally friendly silicone Release Agent for use with all Epoxy-SO2 Cold Box, Phenolic-Urethane Cold Box, Methyl Formate Cold Box and CO2 Cold Box applications.


SAND ADDITIVES


HyperADD - Engineered Sand Additive
Engineered Sand Additives formulated to reduce or eliminate veining and increase penetration resistance in cores and molds produced with chemically-bonded sand. Silica sand expansion is considered a main contributing factor with veining in castings. HyperADD products are formulated using a blend of organic and inorganic technology to optimize casting quality.


PASTES & ADHESIVES


SonicSTIK® - Core & Mold Adhesive
Fast setting adhesives suitable for use on all types of chemically bonded sand molds and cores. When used as directed, SonicSTIK® products have been formulated to produce strong joints between molds and cores very quickly. The products can be used for normal core gluing on any type of sand bond where a rapid evaporative adhesive is required. The “R” Series was developed as a lower viscosity and faster setting option. The “W” Series provides the benefits of a water-based SonicSTIK which is commonly used to glue large No Bake Molds.


AMINE RECYCLING


ARC® - Amine Recoverable Concentrate
Recycling for the Phenolic Urethane Cold Box Process.
