Reference baseline

Per ton of mineral casting reduces 1.6 tons of CO₂ emissions compared to per ton of gray cast iron. For large machine bases, this means significant environmental benefits.

Eco-Friendly Production Process

Low Temperature Manufacturing

Cold casting process at room temperature, no high-temperature melting required, significantly reducing energy consumption

Manufacturing temperature 20-25°C

Zero Emissions

Production process with no exhaust gas, no dust, no pollutant emissions

Exhaust emissions Zero

Low Noise

Compared to metal foundries, mineral casting production has extremely low noise levels

Working environment Quiet

No Water Pollution

Production process does not use water for cooling, no wastewater generated

Wastewater discharge Zero

Natural Materials

The main components of mineral casting are natural quartz aggregates—these materials are abundant and environmentally friendly.

Quartz Stone and Gravel

Main aggregate component from natural mineral deposits, cleaned and classified

Natural mineral

Granite Particles

Provides additional mechanical strength and stability

Natural rock

Epoxy Resin Binder

High-strength binder, chemically stable after curing, releases no harmful substances

Chemically stable

No Hazardous Chemical Components

Mineral casting materials do not contain:

  • Heavy metals
  • Volatile organic compounds (VOC)
  • Radioactive substances
  • Carcinogenic or teratogenic substances
