The progress of country depends heavily on the growth of industries; of which foundry technology is most important one. Scientists and engineers engaged in the foundry technology may find difficulties in recognizing some fundamental industrial chemistry and materials. A reader will find it very easy to locate these at the beginning of the book. Initial three chapters contain revision of organic chemistry, oils and fats and polymers in general including foundry applications. The following three chapters involve discussion mainly on sand and clay both as binder as well as its role in moulding. Finally one finds the most needed discussion on the foundry environment, the hazards in foundry industries and guidance to its remediation.
