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 film, granulate or in solution form.

Benefits

Upon decomposition, QPAC^®100 leaves less than 10 ppm ash residue, resulting in outstanding mechanical and/or electrical properties

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

QPAC^®100 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 oxygen, air, nitrogen, argon, hydrogen and vacuum
