Gold Star XL

The casting of Silver and Brass for the jewellery and costume jewellery market accounts for a large percentage of worldwide production. Costs need to be minimized and Gold Star XL achieves this whilst also producing superior castings and excellent surfaces, keeping finishing work prior to plating to an absolute minimum.

Gold Star XL is specifically formulated by optimizing the particle size distribution and thermal expansion to help casters compete in the most demanding of environments for casting Brass and Silver.
