Advancing Ceramic Formulations with High-Performance Wax Additives

2025-07-29 Pageview：15

In advanced ceramics, waxes improve processing by aiding in green body strength, demolding, and thermal burnout—crucial in electronics, medical, and aerospace components.

Functional Roles

Binder Lubricant: Improves compaction and reduces cracking.
Demolding Aid: Clean separation from molds in dry-pressed parts.
Controlled Burnout: Prevents porosity and warping during firing.

Product Options

Micronized waxes for dry pressing
Emulsified waxes for ceramic slurries
Burnout residue: <0.02% ash

Application Insights

Ceramic Type	Wax Loading	Benefit
Alumina	0.3–0.6%	Green strength, mold release
Zirconia	0.4–0.8%	Dimensional stability
Ferrite ceramics	0.2–0.5%	Lower firing defects

Performance Gains

Green body integrity improved by 20%.
Surface finish improved for sintered parts.
Fewer cracks and rejects post-firing.

Using wax additives for advanced ceramics improves processing reliability, yield, and precision—especially for technical ceramics requiring tight tolerances.
