Clow Valve Company located in Oskaloosa, Iowa was recently featured in an article entitled Developing Bio-Urethanes for Non-Bake and Cold-Box Molding that appeared in the June 2010 issue of Foundry Management & Technology magazine.  Clow Valve was selected by the University of Northern Iowa Metal Casting Center (UNI/MCC) to run the first foundry trials using the new bio-urethane binders.  The goal of the project, funded by the Department of Energy and conducted by UNI/MCC, is to develop binders that use bio-renewable materials to lower VOC and hazardous air pollutant emissions from foundries.

For your information a copy of the entire article is attached.

The Clow Valve Team is proud to have an opportunity to contribute to the development of this product that is projected to be more environmentally friendly.  This is another example of how McWane strives to improve our performance every day, so that we are part of protecting our environment for generations to come.
