MULTICAST

Multicast is a modified, superfine ground α-hemihydrate with an extraordinarily high specific surface quality.
By mixing Multicast with the locally available natural gypsum at a corresponding mixing ratio, a moulding plaster is produced for non-pressure casting with improved utilisation properties in production as well as moulding plaster for roller moulding applications.

 

WORKING INSTRUCTIONS

The mixing ratio of the powder component Multicast and local natural gypsum should be selected as follows depending on the quality of the natural gypsum.

Mixing ratio - Multicast : Local natural gypsum

40 : 60 or 50 : 50

Mixing ratio - Water : Gypsum

1 : 1.75 - 1.85

First strew the local plaster, than Multicast into the water. After a short soaking time, start mixing.

Mixing time

2.5 - 3 minutes

 
Advantages:
  • Increased mechanical strength.
  • Improved absorption rate (fragment forming time).
  • Increased mould removal strength.
  • Slightly shorter casting cycles.
  • 2 times higher casting cycles and increased mould life thanks to reduced mould wear.
  • Reduced plaster mould production.
  • Reduced production downtimes due to fewer mould change operations.
  • Reduced labour costs for mould casting and mould change operations.
  • Lower disposal costs for used moulds.
A convection drying facility would be of advantage to avoid high humidity at the mould casing location!
The above recommendations are given to the best of our knowledge. We grant the quality of our products according to our specification. Any further liability cannot be accepted since the proper application of our products is outside of our control.
