Key Features of Our Casting Investment Formula

1. Flawless Surface Finish

Our formula acts as a reliable bubble-free casting powder, specifically engineered to eliminate watermarks and rough textures. It captures the finest details, ensuring your metal parts require less “cleanup” time.

2. Universal Compatibility (Wax & 3D Resins)

Precisionvast™ works seamlessly with traditional injection waxes and modern 3D print castable investment resins. It accommodates the aggressive expansion of resins during burnout without mold degradation.

3. High Thermal Shock Resistance

Designed to function as a durable high-temperature refractory mold, this powder prevents flashing even during rapid changes in your burnout schedule—essential for high-yield production.

4. Easy Slurry Mixing & Clean Devastment

The advanced wetting agents ensure a lump-free consistency, simplifying the slurry mixing ratio. Once the pour is complete, our E-Z quench formula allows the mold to break away effortlessly in water.


Ideal Applications & Metal Compatibility

Precisionvast™ is the “workhorse” for diverse casting environments, from custom design studios to high-volume manufacturing floors.

  • Standard Precious Metals: Optimized for Gold (up to 22K), Silver, Brass, and Copper. It is widely trusted as a high-performance bronze casting plaster.

  • Industrial & Dental: Meets rigorous dimensional tolerances for dental hardware and aerospace prototyping.

  • High-Temp Version: Specialized blends available for Platinum and stainless steel casting methods.


Technical Specifications & Working Parameters

Consistency is the key to repeatable success. Use these calibrated parameters to get the best results from your lost wax casting investment.

Mixing & Timing Guide

  • Powder/Water Ratio: 100 parts powder to 38-40 parts distilled water.

  • Working Time: 8–10 minutes (at 72°F / 22°C).

  • Gloss-Off Time: 14–15 minutes.

  • Max Temperature: 1350°F (732°C) Standard / 1650°F (899°C) High-Temp.

  • Packaging: 40 lb (18.1 kg) moisture-sealed reinforced boxes.

Pro Tip: Always weigh materials using a digital scale. Never measure by volume, as humidity can change the density of the powder.


Step-by-Step Burnout Schedule

A controlled burnout schedule investment is crucial for total wax/resin elimination and mold curing.

Phase Target Temp Hold Time Purpose
Stage 1 300°F (149°C) 2 Hours Melt and drain wax/resin safely
Stage 2 700°F (371°C) 1 Hour Burn off carbon residue
Stage 3 1350°F (732°C) 2-3 Hours Full thermal cure of the refractory mold
Stage 4 Casting Temp 1 Hour Stabilize flask for the metal pour

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use this for 3D printed resin models? A: Yes. Precisionvast™ is a premier 3D print castable investment that handles resin expansion without cracking, ensuring ash-free results.

Q: Why is my investment mold cracking? A: This is usually caused by rushing the “ramp-up” temperature or using an incorrect water-to-powder ratio. Following our recommended burnout schedule prevents thermal shock.

Q: Do I need a vacuum chamber? A: For a truly bubble-free casting powder finish, vacuum degassing for 1-2 minutes is highly recommended to remove trapped air from the slurry.
