The Ceramic Glue – Introducing Ceramic Binders
Ceramic Binders are materials used to provide adhesion between ceramic particles during the green body formation stage in ceramics manufacturing. These binders can be organic, such as polyvinyl alcohol or cellulose derivatives, or inorganic, like sodium silicate and phosphate compounds. Their primary function is to improve green strength, which is essential for maintaining the shape and integrity of ceramic bodies before sintering. Once fired at high temperatures, the binder either burns out (organic) or becomes a part of the final structure (inorganic), contributing to the mechanical properties of the ceramic.

These binders are crucial in producing various ceramic products such as tiles, insulators, refractory bricks, and advanced ceramics used in electronics and biomedical fields. In precision applications, such as multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) or ceramic substrates for electronics, binders ensure uniform layering and reduce defect rates. The choice of binder significantly affects the drying behavior, shrinkage, and overall quality of the final product. Recent advancements have focused on eco-friendly and high-performance binders that reduce the emission of toxic gases during firing and enhance compatibility with modern manufacturing techniques like 3D printing. As the ceramics industry moves towards sustainability and performance, ceramic binders will continue to play a pivotal role in shaping its future.
