Completely disperse the "Carbopol" 941 resin in the methanol and neutralize the dispersion with the amine. Stir in the powdered steel. (The "Carbopol" 941 resin/di-n-butylamine salt is very effective as a binder.) Note: The suspension above was poured into plaster caste, vibrated under vacuum to eliminate voids and dried at 82 C (180 F) in a circulating air oven. After drying, the molded parts exhibited unusually good green strength and displayed very high specific gravity.
