DESCRIPTION
LDC is an activated Bentonite , processed from high content of specially selected montmorillonite. LDC gives a green compression strength greater than the standard foundry grade bentonite . Which allow the high quality moulds and high permeability.When in a dry system LDC gives lower strength . Which allows a better shake out.
