Lubricants & Pressing Aids (Kimiplast)

Kimia Ceram Zarin's Lubricants and Pressing Aids, marketed under the Kimiplast trade name, are engineered to improve ceramic forming processes. These products facilitate pressing and extrusion by reducing friction between particles and the mold surface, improving the quality of the final body. Kimiplast is available in various grades for dry pressing, ceramic extrusion, and catalyst extrusion.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Kimiplast differ from a binder?

Kimiplast acts as a lubricant and pressing aid, reducing friction between particles and the mold, while a binder increases green body strength. These two products complement each other.

Is Kimiplast suitable for catalyst extrusion?

Yes, Kimiplast is available in extrusion-specific grades that serve as a suitable replacement for imported lubricants in catalyst extrusion processes.
