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

QPAC^®100 leaves very little ash residue on decomposition: less than 10 ppm. This results in excellent mechanical and/or electrical properties

Decomposition takes place at low temperature, which is important for thermal sensitive materials, and does so more efficiently than other binders

QPAC^®100 has a higher glass transition temperature (T_g) than either QPAC^®25 and QPAC^®40, offering greater stability at higher temperatures

It will decompose in a wide range of atmospheres including oxygen, air, nitrogen, argon, hydrogen and vacuum
