PEGs have the following plus points as carriers, plasticizers and binders:
Compatible with many aqueous and non-aqueous formulations PEGs can help colors to etch easily and also suitable for scraping techniques Easy and smooth distribution throughout the ceramic mass Plasticizing properties for higher density Lubricant for mold release Burn smoothly without residue Lower slurry viscosity and higher solids loading
