Question 1

Is a tile binder suitable for a porcelain body?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. The requirements differ, particularly the colour sensitivity of a white firing body and behaviour in thin sections. A binder should be evaluated against the firing cycle and forming method of that specific factory.

Question 2

How does a binder affect slip casting?

Accepted Answer

Beyond green strength, a binder can affect slip viscosity and casting rate. That effect should be measured before full production, since it translates directly into wall thickness and cycle time.

Question 3

Is this product available to order now?

Accepted Answer

The product is at the development and industrial evaluation stage and does not yet have a published datasheet. Contact us to discuss evaluation in your own line.
