Ransom & Randolph® BANDUST Advantage™ Investment, 19.96 kg.

In this investment, Ransom & Randolph® partners their UltraVest® casting investment with their groundbreaking BANDUST™ technology to create Advantage™ investment. The addition of BANDUST significantly reduces the quantities of respirable quartz and cristobalite released into the working environment, helping to reduce the safety hazards intrinsic to working with these materials. The unique manufacturing process developed by R&R binds far more of the typically respirable particles to the dry investment powder so that they do not become airborne during the measuring and mixing tasks. Based on third-party industrial test results, BANDUST reduces total respirable dust by up to 97% compared to standard R&R jewelry investments and by as much as 99% compared to other jewelry investments. Casters using BANDUST products report "noticeably less dust overall during the investing process with the added benefit of improved housekeeping overall" with no reduction in their casting quality or the excellent final casting results they count on from R&R investment products—and without any change to their processes. Economical Ransom & Randolph investment creates smooth, consistent surfaces on finished castings. It is highly stable with a good consistency that is easy to work and helps reduce water marking and other defects. Ideal for use with silver, brass and bronze. Patent pending.
