Key Functions

Key Functions of Cellulose Ether in Ceramic Processing

Binder – Strength and Cohesion at Every Step

Ensures strong bonding between ceramic particles.
Provides uniformity in green bodies and stable compaction.
Minimizes cracking or delamination during forming and drying.

Plasticizer – Enhanced Moldability and Flexibility

Increases the plasticity of clay and ceramic masses.
Enables easier shaping, extrusion, and pressing.
Improves flow dynamics in casting and injection systems.

Thickener & Rheology Modifier – Precise Flow Control

Stabilizes dispersion of fine ceramic powders in suspensions.
Allows controlled viscosity for casting, glazing, and coating.
Prevents sedimentation and ensures uniform layer thickness.

Water-Retention Agent – Controlled Drying Dynamics

Maintains adequate moisture during shaping and drying.
Prevents surface cracks, internal voids, and warping.
Improves coating uniformity and glaze smoothness.

Green Strength Enhancer – Stability Before Sintering

Increases the cohesive and mechanical strength of green bodies.
Reduces handling breakage and deformation.
Ensures dimensional accuracy and lower scrap rates.
