Sustainability? It’s what drives us!

Research and development means – now more than ever – developing increasingly sustainable products. It means optimising processes and products so that they are successful for many years to come, save resources and protect the environment and people.

We know that industrial processes have an impact on the natural environment. Which is why we strive to limit this impact, if not avoid it altogether – that is what motivates us every day and guides our research and development.

Targeted research

Clean air

A zero as target:

0 emissions

Circular economy

Optimal use of resources and complete material cycles

Technology leadership

Developing and deploying the best products to maximise efficiency for our customers.

Climate protection

Avoidance or reduction of CO₂ emissions

Innovation Spotlights

From theory to practice

Our consistent focus on real-world application is demonstrated every day in practical use by our customers.

Circular economy

With specially developed binder systems and individual solutions, we have already been able to help numerous customers to return even those foundry sands that were previously considered lost to the material cycle.

Clean air

The solutions developed by HA are far-reaching:

Emission-free casting with powerful, inorganic binder systems
Low emission Cold-Box binder systems
Low sulphur furan resin binder systems with reduced emissions (odour, SO₂ and BTX)
Optimized coatings

Reducing emissions remains the driving force for all future developments at HA!

3D printing

The advantages of additive manufacturing are being increasingly exploited by a growing number of foundries to produce moulds and cores, quickly and accurately. Key, and sometimes very complex, castings are also required for electric drive trains. These require the appropriate input materials and coordinated processes:

Wide range of products for 3D printing: phenolic, furan and inorganic resins
The HA Center of Competence is equipped with its own 3D printer for development projects in the lab and joint projects with partners and customers

Climate protection

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time and requires all companies to rethink their business practices. HA was an early mover in replacing carbon with plant-based and inorganic components.
