Binders and Base Polymers

 

 

Binders or base polymers, binding agents and film formers are starting components mixed with other fillers and additives by compounders to produce plastic resins, elastomers, adhesives, sealants, coatings, paints or other polymer-based products. Binders or base polymers are also used as adhesives used to hold together particulates such as polyvinyl alcohol, waxes, phenolics or other compounds. They are used in fabricating powder metal compacts, ceramic binders, fuel pellets, brake pads, particle board, and pharmaceuticals pills or preparations.
