“Growing Demand for Eco-Friendly Products”
- Sustainability is now at the forefront of the foundry chemicals market, with increasing investment in low-toxicity, recyclable, and biodegradable product lines to address environmental concerns and regulatory requirements
- For instance, ASK Chemicals has pioneered the launch of eco-friendly resin binders and low-VOC coatings, which support foundry compliance with strict environmental regulations and set benchmarks for performance and sustainability in the industry
- Advanced chemical engineering has enabled the replacement of traditional, petrochemical-based agents with high-performance, water-based and alkali-phenolic solutions
- Innovations in automation and process control equip foundries to optimize chemical usage, minimize waste, and boost efficiency, accelerating the adoption of green solutions
- Cross-sector collaborations, including partnerships between chemical majors, startups, and research organizations, are speeding the commercialization of next-generation, environmentally responsible binders and additives
- Customer preferences and procurement policies are shifting toward suppliers whose products carry verified “green” certifications and meet new sustainability standards
