Foundry additions and pure metals are essential in manufacturing. Foundry additions improve the properties of molten metal, making it stronger and more durable. Pure metals, like copper and aluminium, are used for their unique qualities, such as conductivity and strength. We stock a complete range for just-in-time delivery to your foundry.
