Polyamide base binder for use in metal powder injection molding process

摘要

A polyamide binder for use in injection molding a metal powder comprising in combination: (a) 40 to 50 wt % of a polyamide resin component having an average molecular weight of not less than 20,000 and prepared by co-polycondensation of a mixture of dimer acid, azelaic acid, ethylenediamine and xylylenediamine each being mixed in a substantially equal molecular equivalent ratio; (b) 20 to 30 wt % of ethylene-bis-laurylamide; and (c) the balance of N,N-diacetylpiperazine.
