Chemical Formula

Molecular Weight Available - Approximately 150,000 - 200,000

Applications

Binder applications for metal, ceramics or glass powders

Decomposable channel former

Pore former

Typical Physical Properties

Product Delivery Form - It is available as a granulate, film or in solution form.

Benefits

Upon decomposition, QPAC^®130 leaves less than 10 ppm ash residue, resulting in superior mechanical and/or electrical properties

Low temperature decomposition is exceptional for thermal sensitive materials and is more efficient than other binders

QPAC^®130 has a higher Tg than QPAC^®25 and QPAC^®40 offering more stability at higher temperatures

Decomposition can occur in a wide range of atmospheres including nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, air, oxygen and vacuum
