Feedstocks for Ceramic Injection Moulding(Hall 6 / Stand B 16)
INMATEC Technologies GmbH is the world's leading developer
and producer of feedstock for the Ceramic Injection
Moulding (CIM) process.
In addition to a wide range of standard feedstocks based
on different ceramic powders which already cover many
requirements, the actual core business of the company is
the manufacturing of customer-specific solutions.
The feedstock development starts in a lab-scale size, in
order to limit the development costs for the customers
with the often expensive raw materials. The transfer to
the production scale can be done with the same parameters
without further adjustments, because the development is
carried out on the production machines. By having a wealth
of experience and cooperating closely with the customer
directly at the market INMATEC is able to carry out powder
developments to customers requirements. INMATEC is a
development partner, service provider and producer at the
same time.
INMATEC is free in the choice of the raw materials –
regarding the ceramic powders and the thermoplastic binder
systems as well. Besides the well-known INMAFEED binder
system and the younger INMAFLOW binder system the company,
has announced that it will be expanding its product range
to include polyoxymethylene (POM) based CIM feedstocks.
A team at the company, which is based near Cologne,
Germany, has developed the new INMAPOM CIM feedstock and
confirms that the system will be launched in the coming
months. POM based alumina, white zirconia and black
zirconia feedstocks will be available. With the INMAPOM
binder system the company states that it is completing its
objective of offering the complete range of binder systems
for the Powder Injection Moulding (PIM) market. Customers
have the freedom to decide which feedstock system they
would like to use and can choose between INMAFEED, the wax
based binder-system for water debinding, INMAFLOW, the
polyamide based binder-system for solvent debinding with
acetone and INMAPOM, the POM based binder-system for
catalytic debinding.
With INMAPOM feedstocks CIM manufacturers can use the fast
catalytic debinding process. Catalytic debinding
technology, which is already well known in the PIM
industry, allows producers to operate a fully automated
production process with continuous 24/7 operations. This
is an advantage for high volume part production in the CIM
industry.
The new INMAPOM CIM feedstock system will be available
globally for industrial-scale projects and it is stated
that full technical support is offered in all world
regions by a team of experienced experts CIM. We have an
established project team for the INMAPOM feedstocks that
can ensure that customers will have the necessary support
to handle the INMATEC catalytic debinding system.
