No-bake casting explained

No-bake, also called air-set moulding, uses sand mixed with a chemical binder that hardens at room temperature. The mould sets without being baked, which gives it its name.

Where it is used

No-bake moulds are rigid and hold their shape well, so the process is widely used for medium and larger castings and for parts made in smaller batches.

No-bake at Nandini Foundry

In 2026 we are adding no-bake casting to our Rajkot facility, for products from 100 grams to 400 kilograms. Contact us to discuss whether a part suits no-bake moulding.
