solid fritted bonding material to mating surfaces of each article joing the mating surfaces of each article together and heating the joined articles to a temperature wherein the blended wax composition burns away and the powder becomes activated to form a permanent bond between each article application_number US 1029798 A description the benefit of using the solid fritted bonding material is seen where the blended wax composition allows for two parts to be temporarily bonded together before being fired in a furnace this temporary bond overcomes the problem of parts becoming destabilized prior to heating in addition the solid fritted bonding material does not contain volatile organic solvents the lack of volatile organic solvents eliminates the need for special handling requirements and complex storage requirements the solid fritted bonding material consists essentially of a blended wax composition and a powder any blended wax composition known to those skilled in the art may be used and in particular may be a combination of waxes selected from the group consisting of microcrystalline waxes processed beeswax lanolin plant waxes and natural waxes many waxes are commercially available examples of a few of these types of waxes include but are not limited to an ethylene homopolymer c 14 alcohol known as unilin u00ae 700 alcohol commercially available from baker petrolite corporation a polymerized c gt 10 alpha alkene known as vybar u00ae 825 polymer commercially available from baker petrolite corporation a microcrystalline wax known as ultraflex u00ae amber wax commercially available from bareco products naturally occuring waxes animal waxes and plant waxes the blended wax composition is formulated based on the final application and.
