Consumption of resins in the foundry industry (in 1,000 t)
Boasting a market share of close to 60%, UCP Chemicals is the undisputed market leader in the high-growth specialty resins segment for the foundry industry*.
In the foundry industry, specialty resins are used in particular as binders for the production of sand casting molds. In manufacturing such resins, UCP Chemicals and the joint venture company UCP Cavenaghi utilize the entire spectrum of available technologies, including the environmentally-friendly low-temperature process.
In particular, there is a considerable need to modernize foundry production facilities in the Russian metalworking and automobile industries. The application of new technologies and efforts to increase efficiency increasingly rely on state-of-the-art specialty resins, which has successively stimulated demand and which continues to show high growth potential for UCP Chemicals products.
