Universal Eco Binder for water debinding and sintering ceramics, metals, polymers (such aspolyimide), andexotic powders (including nanowires, microfibers, etc) feedstock injection in 3D printed durable or sacrificial injection molds
ideal for dispersing, debinding and sintering ceramics, metals, polymers and exotic powders without defects since most of the debinding is done with water
excellent dispersability and flow of post added micron and submicron ceramics, metals, polymers, such as polyimide, and exotic powders (including nanowires, microfibers, etc)
powder (including nanowires, microfibers, etc) additions can be up to 60% volume concentrations (lower for nanoparticles, nano wires and microfibers)
part of the binder has good water solubility for debinding without imperfections nor cracking
part of the binder is not water soluble but exhibits excellent thermal debinding without imperfections nor cracking
controlled and reproducible process shrinkage which depends on final % powder and resin binder
minimum expansion coefficient to prevent micro-fractures
relative low slurry viscosity, good flow
very high resolution of 20 microns of final products
suitable for ceramic, metal, polymer, and exotic material slurry jetting
eco friendly process
organo-tin free
supplied in aluminum bottles for heating and melting the binder at 150-160ºC without deforming the bottle
Recommended feedstock or slurry mixing:
Add the binder and your chosen ceramic, metal, or polymer powder with powder volumen concentrations of up to 50-60% to a a powder kneader mixer (or similar) at 160ºC for 30 minutes
Recommended injection of slurries or feedstocks:
Slurries can be poured hot in metal cartridges of 22 or 25 mm external diameter for direct injection in low cost manual injection machines such as this type of manual injection equipment
