Low pressure injection molding

In low pressure injection molding (hot molding) flowable suspensions made of a low melting wax-paraffin-ceramic powder mixture are used to produce ceramic components. Due to the low operating temperatures, low injection pressures can be used whereby tool wear is dramatically reduced. It is also possible to use tools made of soft materials like e.g. silicon rubber.
