The Parting Powder can be used with both oil bonded sands (such as Petrobond and Delft Clay) and water bonded sands (such as Bromesgrove Green Sand.
 
The Parting Powder is finely Ground Natural Calcium Carbonate (Ca Co3) and can be used used as a parting agent for non- ferrous metals sand moulding. It can be applied using either a fine brush or sprinkled using the finely woven dusting bag. 
 
The dust bag is made from finely woven material and has built in draw string to keep the parting powder in, measuring 205mm x 140mm.The dusting bag should be part filled and the draw string tied. It is then shaken over and around the pattern and over any surface that easy separation is required from. A fine layer of dust will be deposited over all surfaces.
