Ceramic Binder Materials

Used as a superior standalone system to rigidize refractory fiber shapes.

Ceramic binder materials.

Pots and vases or to bind solid pieces e g. It must leave a minimal amount of ash after firing. Customer qualified materials alumina carbon natural sands synthetic sands silicon carbide tungsten carbide cobalt. An acidic colloidal alumina binder developed for mixing with sized refractory flours and grains to produce high temperature refractory coatings for ceramic fiber boards.

In composite materials epoxy polyester or phenolic resins are common. A colloidal silica aqueous solution which produces high adhesive strength. Crystalline ceramic materials are not amenable to a great range of processing. In reinforced carbon carbon plastic or pitch resin is used as a source of carbon released through pyrolysis.

For the production of ceramic shells for the investment casting process a slurry is created from combining a liquid binder refractory flours and sands. Nanoslic coatings use a primary binder polymer that is ceramic meaning its primarily composed of an inorganic material. Remet supplies all the casting materials to create high quality ceramic shells able to be customized to meet a wide range of casting applications for the full spectrum of metal alloys. The binding property of clay is also used widely to prepare shaped articles e g.

High performance systems primary and backup binders ready to use slurries refractories core materials shell consumables slurry additives wax. The modern ceramic materials which are classified as advanced ceramics include silicon carbide and tungsten carbide. Both are valued for their abrasion resistance and hence find use in applications such as the wear plates of crushing equipment in mining operations. On a weigh basis nanoslic coatings are largely composed of silica.

Binder jetting is continuing to grow and future machine enhancements for printing small particle size and sinterable ceramic powders will continue to create broader adoption. Advanced ceramics are also used in the medicine electrical electronics industries and body armor. Properties include low thermal conductivity flexibility and good handling strength. Other materials are added for specific formulations and applications.

A complete line of ceramic shell products. This grade of ceramic fiber paper is virtually free of shot content and has a smooth surface on both exterior surfaces. Binder jetting has inherent advantages for additive manufacturing of ceramics including the print speed print size and material choices flexibility. A normal body binder must have several characteristics.
