德国工程巨人BASF将其1996年3项公司内部革新奖之一授予粉末注射成形催化脱粘结剂系统的开发小组。BASF开发的粉末注射成形技术，可将成形时用来将金属粉末粘结在一起的塑料化合物，在成形以后用酸性催化作用令其分解，并随氮气流将其从工件中除去。这比传统的脱粘结剂方法需时 German engineering giant BASF awarded one of its three in-house innovations in 1996 to the development team for a powder injection-molded catalytic debinder system. BASF has developed a powder injection molding technology that uses a plastic compound used to bond metal powders together during forming, which is decomposed by acid catalysis after formation and removed from the work-piece by a stream of nitrogen. This takes longer than the traditional binder removal method
