Product Overview
Polyethylene Oxide CAS 25322-68-3 is high purity water-soluble thermoplastic polymer designed for powder injection molding binder systems. Traditional binder formulas often suffer poor powder wettability, fragile green parts or heavy carbon residue after sintering. This PEO grade offers balanced rheology, excellent powder compatibility and clean debinding performance. It supports water-based solvent debinding process, lowers production hazard and reduces part defects for precision MIM & CIM component manufacturers.
Key Features
- CAS Number: 25322-68-3, Appearance: White free-flowing fine powder
- Outstanding wetting capacity for metal powder and ceramic powder
- Improve feedstock flowability for smooth injection molding
- Increase green body strength, reduce breakage during demolding and transportation
- Water soluble, available for environment-friendly water debinding process
- Forms continuous pore network after solvent extraction, accelerates thermal debinding
- Low ash & low carbon residue after high temperature pyrolysis
- Compatible with backbone polymers, waxes and dispersants in multi-component binder systems
Main Applications
- Water-soluble binder ingredient for Metal Injection Molding (MIM) feedstock
- Binder additive for Ceramic Injection Molding (CIM), alumina & zirconia forming
- Functional component for powder injection molding eco-friendly binder formulation
- Auxiliary binder for titanium alloy, stainless steel and technical ceramic precision parts
Usage Guidance
Blend PEO with backbone polymer, wax and dispersant according to binder formula. Conduct twin-screw compounding together with metal/ceramic powder under controlled temperature. Avoid excessive processing shear to prevent polymer chain degradation. Optimize debinding temperature and immersion time based on part thickness. Complete small-scale trial production before mass manufacturing.
