QPAC 100 poly (propylene/cyclohexene carbonate)
QPAC 100 poly(propylene/cyclohexene carbonate) is an amorphous, clear, readily processable solid polymer with long-term mechanical stability.
What are the applications for QPAC 100?
Binder for ceramic, metal, or glass powders. Sacrificial structural applications include decomposable channel former and pore former.
QPAC 100 is available in the following forms:
- Pellet
- Solution
- Film
Key Benefits Include:
- Excellent adhesion and improved lubricity
- Co-firing in any atmosphere without oxidation
- Complete and clean burnout, leaving less than 10 ppm ash residue, resulting in superb mechanical and/or electrical properties
- Outstanding green strength
- Low-temperature decomposition is excellent for thermally sensitive materials and is more efficient than other binders
- Products of combustion are only carbon dioxide & water
- Higher Tg (glass transition temperature) for more thermal stability at higher temperatures
- Designed for sacrificial placeholder applications
- Decomposition occurs in a wide range of atmospheres, including air, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, argon, and vacuum
- Range of molecular weights from 150,000 to 200,000
