📖 1. Product Overview Ceramic Body Binder

Ceramic Body Binder is a high-performance additive specifically designed to increase the strength of ceramic bodies. Through bridging, bonding, and filling mechanisms, it forms strong interparticle bonds between ceramic particles, significantly improving the strength of both granulated powder and finished green bodies, while reducing quality issues such as breakage, warpage, and lamination at various stages of production.

💡 Core Value:
Reduces high-quality clay usage — maintains body strength while reducing clay content
No negative impact on slurry flow — slurry flow time increases by 5–10 seconds, still within good range
Dry strength improvement — dry strength increases by 10%–30%
Appearance: White powder / Brown powder
Packaging: 25 kg/bag
🧪 2. Two Product Series Inorganic · Organic

GOWAY Ceramic Body Binders are divided into two series, designed for different body formulations and production processes: Inorganic Mineral Series (FG-302 / FG-303) and Organic Polymer Series (FG-ZM010 / FG-ZM01A). The two series can be used individually or in combination for optimal strengthening results.

🪨 Inorganic Mineral Series FG-302 / FG-303
  • Main Composition: Aluminosilicate mineral system, SiO₂ 60-70%, Al₂O₃ 13-16%
  • Mechanism: Filling and bridging effects via mineral particles, increasing mechanical interlocking
  • Applications: Standard ceramic bodies, refractories, bricks, tiles
  • Features: Cost-effective, good compatibility with bodies, no effect on fired color
🧬 Organic Polymer Series FG-ZM010 / FG-ZM01A
  • Main Composition: Organic polymer active ingredients, content 90-98%
  • Mechanism: Bridging and bonding via polymer chains, forming flexible connections between particles
  • Applications: High-demand bodies, thin slabs, large-format tiles, special-shaped parts
  • Features: Significant strengthening effect, extremely low dosage (0.1%-0.2%), up to 30% dry strength improvement
💡 Combination Recommendation: For products with extremely high strength requirements (e.g., large-format thin slabs, oversized tiles), it is recommended to combine inorganic and organic series in appropriate ratios to achieve dual strengthening effects from mechanical interlocking + chemical bonding.

📌 L.O.I = Loss on Ignition, reflecting organic content
🔬 4. Strengthening Mechanisms Bridging · Bonding · Filling
🌉
Bridging
Binder molecules/particles form "bridges" between ceramic particles, connecting them into a unified structure
🧵
Bonding
Polymer chains bind particles tightly through chemical bonds and physical entanglement
🪨
Filling
Fine mineral particles fill voids between particles, increasing density and mechanical interlocking
⚙️ Impact Across Production Stages:
Granulation: Increases cohesion of powder particles, reducing breakage and fines generation
Pressing: Improves green strength, reducing breakage during demolding and handling
Drying: Reduces shrinkage stress from moisture evaporation, effectively preventing warpage and lamination
Pre-firing handling: Enhances breakage resistance during glazing, grinding, cutting, and other processes
🎯 5. Product Selection Guide Choose by Application
Application Scenario Recommended Product Recommended Dosage Selection Rationale
Standard Ceramic Body FG-302 0.1% – 0.2% Cost-effective, good compatibility with bodies
High-demand Body / Thin Slabs FG-303 0.1% – 0.2% Higher SiO₂ content, superior strengthening effect
Premium Large-format Tiles FG-ZM010 0.1% – 0.15% 90-95% active content, extremely low dosage, significant effect
Special-shaped / Fine Ceramics FG-ZM01A 0.08% – 0.15% 95-98% ultra-high activity, strongest strengthening effect
Refractory Materials FG-302 / FG-303 0.15% – 0.25% Inorganic mineral series offer better high-temperature performance
Usage Recommendations:
• Recommended dosage: 0.1%–0.2% (based on dry material weight)
• Optimal dosage should be determined through laboratory trials, as different body formulations vary
• Slurry flow time increases by 5–10 seconds, still within good flow range
• Can be used in combination with deflocculants — they work synergistically without interference
• Dry strength improvement: 10%–30%, depending on formulation and process
📌 Summary Key Takeaways
🎯 Core Advantages
  • Reduces high-quality clay usage — lowers cost
  • No impact on slurry flow — good fluidity
  • Dry strength increase 10-30% — reduces breakage
  • Reduces warpage & lamination — improves yield
📦 Product Series
  • Inorganic Series — FG-302 / FG-303
  • Organic Series — FG-ZM010 / FG-ZM01A
  • Recommended Dosage — 0.1% ~ 0.2%
  • Packaging — 25 kg/bag
💡 Selection Key: Based on body formulation and strength requirements, choose Inorganic or Organic series, or combine both for optimal strengthening effect and cost balance
