AGC Ceramics has succeeded in developed BRIGHTORB, a Ceramics Molding Agent composed of the company's proprietary synthetic sand, drawing on its ceramics expertise and ceramics melting technologies built up experience.

BRIGHTORB has exceptionally high dimensional accuracy and molding strength even in casting molten metal at extreme temperatures over 1600 °C. This facilitates precise casting with high-temperature molten metals such as stainless and cast steels, making Brightorb™ ideal for a wide range of industrial applications.

BRIGHTORB also contributes to reducing waste since it uses recyclable synthetics and as its basic ingredient.

In addition, Brightorb™ makes it possible to achieve substantial reductions in completion time and manufacturing cost by taking advantage of 3-D printing, whose use has been rapidly spreading in the mold manufacturing industry in recent years.
