In the ceramic industry, KimaCell® HPMC E4000 is utilized as a binder for molding ceramic products, providing lubricity, water retention, and enhancing the initial strength of raw materials. The concentrated solution is absorbed onto the surface of ceramic particles, reducing friction between the particles and improving lubrication. This results in molded products with the desired surface finish and dimensional stability. Additionally, HPMC with low ash content can be used to obtain sintered ceramic products with excellent electrical properties. The addition of HPMC to ceramic products offers the following benefits: 1.Enhanced workability during the molding process of ceramic products. 2.Improved green body strength of ceramic products. 3.Favorable lubricating performance, facilitating extrusion molding. 4.Achieving a smooth and delicate surface appearance. 5.Ceramic products exhibit a highly compact internal structure after firing.
