| Summary: | Since metal injection moulding (MIM) is still new in Malaysia, therefore it is
great opportunity for those who carry out the development of new binder system. Perhaps
this technology can be exploited in Malaysia in future for the benefits of all industrial
sectors. Developing of a new locally binder system, which is beneficial to the local
industry is a great concern. Many attempts have been made in developing a new binder
system which concentration is given on the cost reduction and shorten the production
process. Thermoplastic natural rubber (TPNR) has a possibility as binder component
because of many suitable properties it is such as low cost as locally produced, low
viscosity, high decomposition temperature and easily dissolves into solvent also
chemically passive. Hence, TPNR is worth to consider as a binder component. |
