Bentonite 20kg Bucket - Add sand to make ‘Green Sand’ for Metal Casting

This listing is for one (1) 20 kg of
Bentonite Trubond manufactured by SIBELCO Australia

You will reiceve:-

18kg of Bentonite
1.2kg Plastic Buckets

This is the green sand recipe I’m using.

The Bentonite Clay is mixed at a ratio of 1 part to (approx.) 10 parts sand by volume.

Recipe/Measurements: 5 litre Sand – AFS Grade 45, 0.5 litre bentonite, 0.275 litre Water

(0.588 litre bentonite = 0.5kg)

To calculate how much you need 1 litre of sand packed into a molding box weighs 1.5 kg.

I have been doing metal casting as a hobby for about 20years using 'Petrobond Sand'.

During that time I have tried to find a supplier who would sell small quantities of 'Green Sand' that is water based.
Didn't find one so have bought a pallet of sand and a pallet of Bentonite to mix my own.

"Sibelco's Trubond is a natural sodium Bentonite mined and processd near Miles in Queensland"
