HPMC for Ceramic

Joinway C65/60 Series is a customized high-purity hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose ether, produced with selected raw materials and tailored processes to meet the pulping and forming needs of special ceramics.

HPMC plays a key additive role in honeycomb, piezoelectric, daily-use, and advanced ceramics, serving as a binder, plasticizer, lubricant, and water-retaining agent.

Its core value is improving slurry stability, reducing molding defects, and enhancing overall process adaptability in ceramic production.

Application of Hydroxypropyl Starch

Good Adhesion and Formability

Enhances the strength of ceramic green bodies, improves plasticity and formability stability.

Lubrication and Dispersion Effect

Enhances the fluidity of the clay, reduces friction, and improves the pressing or extrusion effect.

Water-Retaining and Crack-Proof

It maintains uniform moisture distribution during the drying process, preventing the green body from cracking.

Clean Sintering and Ease of Use

it leaves little residue, does not affect product quality, and offers good solubility and strong compatibility.
