Degaser is a specially engineered metallurgical product used for the removal of dissolved hydrogen and other harmful gases from molten aluminum and its alloys. The presence of these gases can result in porosity, weak spots, and reduced structural integrity in castings. Cast Chem Technology’s Degaser improves casting quality by effectively purging gases through chemical reactions that form harmless compounds, which then rise to the surface and are skimmed off with dross.
Our Degaser is available in tablet or granule form and is easy to use in both manual and automated casting environments. It enhances metal soundness, reduces scrap rates, and ensures improved mechanical properties in the final product. Its low fume formulation makes it safe for workers and suitable for use in foundries with strict air quality controls. With consistent performance and fast action, it’s a critical component in producing high-integrity aluminum castings.
