The Story of United Erie

United Erie is a full line manufacturer and supplier of air-set/no-bake and cold box sand binders, catalysts, accelerators/activators, core oils, mold/core washes, and surface coatings for the ferrous and non-ferrous metals casting industry.

United Erie’s sand foundry binders and other foundry products are formulated to uncompromising standards of quality and will contribute significantly to the quality of your castings and bottom line profit. United Erie has the facilities, the know-how through 75 years of continuous operations, and the passion to help you produce better castings at reasonable costs by providing an expansive selection of uniformly dependable binders to meet a wide variety of individual foundry needs.

United Erie also studies sands both new and reclaim (mechanical & thermal), while being equipped with two analytical labs to help foundries determine the bonding value of the sand they use. Over the years, United Erie has learned that sand is not sand and it needs to be looked at carefully and analytically. United Erie can help any foundry understand the true value of the sand they are using. Detailed analytical insight can be provided into reclaim sands and how it's being processed.
