The global resin-coated sand (RCS) market is estimated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Resin coated sand is mostly used in the shell casting process to create molds and cores. The casting of automobile components such as brakes, hydraulic irrigation pumps, camshafts, cam followers, cylinders, pistons, chassis, engines and submersible pumps are also some applications of resin-coated sand. RCS is a pre-coated sand used in shell casting and casting of high-precision, high-surface-finish products. Silica or quartz sand, resin (such as phenol-formaldehyde), and hexamine hardener are the basic raw ingredients used in the production of resin-coated sand. 

One of the key factors driving the resin-coated sand market is its superior characteristics. Sand with a resin coating has high tensile strength and high transverse strength. Furthermore, it is very smooth and offers the casting a great surface finish with no sand fusion. As a result, manufacturers are increasing their demand for resin coated sand, driving the resin-coated sand market globally. It is particularly designed to decrease smoke, emissions, and odor during core and mold manufacturing in ferrous and non-ferrous metal casting. Preferred RCS polyurethane coating is compatible with breakers, frac fluids and high pH levels, so it won't leach or deteriorate downhole like common phenolic resin coatings, which lose conductivity and performance when exposed to high pH levels and frac fluids.
