Paraffin Wax Ceramic Binder
CAS Number: 8002-74-2
Paraffin wax is the primary binder and carrier in hot-press slip casting and low-pressure injection molding (LPIM) of technical ceramics. Molten paraffin provides excellent flowability and shape replication at processing temperatures, while wax debinding by solvent extraction or thermal methods yields minimal carbon residue in sintered parts.
