Optimize Powder Metallurgy with Functional Micronized Waxes

In powder metallurgy (PM), achieving clean compaction, efficient mold release, and defect-free sintering is essential. Micronized waxes act as both internal and external lubricants, significantly improving flowability and release during pressing while minimizing residues during sintering.

Key Functional Benefits

🔹 Die Lubrication & Flow
Micronized waxes reduce friction between metal powders and the die wall, leading to higher green strength and extended tooling life.

🔹 Improved Powder Flowability
They enhance powder movement and packing density, reducing porosity and improving dimensional accuracy.

🔹 Clean Burn-Out Performance
High-purity waxes ensure minimal ash content during sintering, supporting better metallurgical integrity.

Recommended Grades

• PE Wax (Oxidized or Fischer-Tropsch): Clean decomposition, low residue.
• Amide Wax: Excellent dispersibility and lubrication.
• Custom Blends: Tailored for stainless steel, copper, iron-based systems.

Typical Applications

• Structural metal parts (automotive, tooling)
• Bronze or copper filters
• Gear and bushing components
• Precision sintered mechanisms
