Batch formulations

Method development samples (appropriate DS batches, formulations (active and placebo), and stability samples) are available. 

Production. On account of the many possible variations in batch formulation and production procedure, only a general outline and instructions for producing one-and two-pack binders from ethyl silicate can be given here. The following batch formulation (in parts by weight) is typical for a two-pack binder containing 20 wt% SiOj ethyl polysilicate 500, solvents 440, and 1 % hydrochloric acid 60. Alcohols such as ethanol and 2-propanol, often mixed with one another and with ketones, ethers, and esters, are used as solvents. 

In any materials fabrication process, the most important ingredient in batch formulation is the ceramic, metallic, or composite powder. After binder removal and final consolidation, the pow-der(s) are the only portion of the batch left, and they define the properties of the part produced. The other ingredients in the batch formulation, such as the solvent (s), plasticizers, binder, and surfactants, are there simply to facilitate the fabrication of the desired shape and the green (unfired) bulk density of the formed part. Essentially, the tape casting process is used to obtain and hold the powder particles in the desired configuration so that, after sintering, the final part has the desired size, shape, and properties.
