ABOUT MURLIN CHEMICAL

Supplying Bone Ash to the Aluminum and Non-Ferrous Metals Industry Since 1981

Murlin Chemical manufactures Aluminum Grade and Natural Bone Ash mold release agents used in aluminum and other non-ferrous metals casting operations and other industries. Since the first shipment in 1981, Murlin has supported foundries and manufacturers with
reliable material for refractory coating and surface protection.

From Synthetic Bone Ash to Industry-Trusted Aluminum Grade Material

Since 1981, Murlin Chemical has manufactured bone ash materials used by foundries and manufacturers in the aluminum and other non-ferrous metals industry.

Murlin Chemical was founded by Ed Murray and Jack Devlin to produce mold lubricant materials for industrial casting operations. Initially sold as Synthetic Bone Ash, their product was widely used until industry advancements in the 1970s shifted demand toward natural bone ash alternatives. This transition led Murlin to focus on developing natural bone ash products suitable for evolving foundry requirements. Murlin made its first shipment of natural bone ash in 1981 and has continued to refine its processing methods to produce consistent, high-quality material. Today, Murlin Bone Ash is used by foundries worldwide to coat refractory troughs, furnace tools, and molten metal transfer equipment, supporting reliable casting operations across the aluminum and other non-ferrous metals industries.

Industries Served

Bone ash material for manufacturers who need consistent performance across
metals, ceramics, and industrial processing.

Aluminum and Other Non-Ferrous Metals

Improves casting efficiency and finish quality by preventing metal adhesion, extending refractory life, and providing reliable, refractory protection—all with a safe, non-toxic formula.

Copper Processing

Improves pour quality, minimizes mold erosion, and streamlines cleanup — ensuring a smooth copper finish.

Cement & Construction Materials

Improves cement performance while reducing environmental impact by increasing early strength, enhancing workability, and minimizing micro-cracks. It is also reported to minimize ricochets in military and shooting range applications.

Ceramics Manufacturing

Improves porcelain quality with enhanced translucency, whiteness, and strength, while enabling lower-temperature sintering and greater durability.

Glazes & Finishing Materials

Functions as a flux/glass former, affecting glaze opacity and flow—improving movement into detailed areas and adding stiffness at low concentrations.
