Applications

QPAC^® polymers can be processed using typical thermoplastic processing techniques, including solution processing, spin casting, injection molding or extrusion. This family of copolymers has attractive performance characteristics in a variety of applications. The following shows some of the main applications for QPAC^® and its benefits. However, the list of applications goes well beyond those listed below.

Binder Applications

1. Electronic Passive Component Industry

2. Metal Brazing Industry

3. Diamond Cutting Tool Industry

4. Glass Powder and Subtrates/Sealing Glass Binders

Application Include:

Flat panel display(OLED, LED), fiber optics, glass preforms, and other technical glass applications.

QPAC binds glass powder/frit, including joining nanotubes and phosphors to glass subtrates.

Binders for Glass Powder Overview

Key Benefits:

• QPAC^® is compatible with a variety of sealing glasses and metals.
• QPAC^®'s viscosities and molecular weights can be custom-tailored for specific soluton or paste requirements.
• Both grades of QPAC^® are naturally "tacky" and their degrees of plasticity can be adjusted as necessary.
• Decomposition is complete through three phases: solid, liquid, and vapor.
• Upon decomposition, QPAC^® leaves very low ash residue with the complete burn-out of carbon.
• QPAC^® decomposes completely between 250°C and 300°C, which can be as much as 100°C below the decomposition temperatures of other binders
