Abstract

A binder system for use in the formation of ceramic or other powder-formed greenware including a binder, a solvent for the binder, a surfactant, and a component that is non-solvent with respect to the binder and solvent. The non-solvent component exhibits a lower viscosity than the solvent when containing the binder and includes a low molecular weight oil having a 90% recovered distillation temperature range of between about 220 to 400.degree. C. Also disclosed is a process of forming and shaping plasticized powder mixtures and a process for forming ceramic articles utilizing the binder system.
