Water Glass Sand Castings are precision-engineered metal parts manufactured using a water glass bonded sand casting process. This method uses sodium silicate (commonly known as water glass) as a high-strength binder mixed with silica sand to form molds and cores. When hardened with CO₂ gas, the sand achieves excellent structural integrity and dimensional accuracy for metal casting applications.
This casting technology is ideal for producing complex shapes and functional components at a competitive cost, making it widely used across automotive, industrial machinery, agricultural equipment and other heavy industries.
1. Higher Quality Water Glass Sand Castings
2. Shorter Production Cycle
3. More Types of Surface Treatment
4. More Cost-saving Freight Routes
5. More Comprehensive Service.

By using sodium silicate as the binder, the mold and core sand mix delivers superior mold strength and stability during pouring, which helps reduce defects and improve casting quality.
Water glass sand casting can produce parts with high dimensional precision and improved detail resolution, significantly reducing the need for secondary machining.
The sodium silicate bonded sand contributes to a smoother surface compared to traditional green sand casting, facilitating better finish and reducing post-processing efforts.
This process allows for shorter production cycles and lower overall manufacturing costs, especially for medium to large volume runs, due to faster hardening and simplified mold preparation.
Water glass sand is an inorganic binder that is low in VOCs and eco-friendly, lowering environmental impact during casting production.
Each casting is inspected to ensure compliance with your requirements and industry standards, including:
Chemical composition verification
Mechanical property testing
Metallographic examination
Dimensional accuracy & tolerance inspection
Surface roughness evaluation
We ensure every part meets strict quality guidelines before delivery.
Precision-made to your drawings: Tailored production per customer CAD files
Strict quality control: Full inspection assures part reliability
Comprehensive services: From casting to packaging and logistics assistance
Global delivery support: Sea, air and land transportation options available
Experienced foundry partner: Delivering high quality and stable lead times
