Binder Systems
In the early development stage, CERMET collaborated with materials engineering team to develop a series of modified binder systems for ceramic and metal injection molding. These systems are specifically designed for advanced ceramic injection molding (CIM) processes and are compatible with a wide range of powder materials, including oxides, nitrides, carbides, and functional ceramics, providing a stable and efficient foundation for feedstock development. Binder system is a specialized formulation for nano-scale ceramic powder CIM applications. It is composed of curing agents, accelerators, dispersants, stabilizers, toughening agents, and multiple polymers with functional additives. The system offers excellent powder wettability, high flowability, low ash residue, and outstanding dimensional stability, effectively reducing cracking, delamination, and sintering distortion while improving overall yield.
Improved powder packing, reduced surface defects, and enhanced filling performance for thin-wall and complex structures. High debinding efficiency, low residual ash, wide processing window, and stable mechanical performance under thermal cycling.Tailored binder systems compatible with catalytic, thermal, and solvent debinding processes for diverse material and equipment requirements. High compatibility with diverse binder systems and powder types. Prevents agglomeration and segregation, ensuring uniform dispersion and stable dimensional performance.
