Abstract
A novel water-soluble core material composed of polyethylene glycol, sodium chloride, mica powder and plasticizer was prepared. The compressive strength, bend strength, hygroscopic coefficient and the material solubility in water were investigated. The results show that the compressive yield strength of the soluble core can reach 1 MPa and the highest compressive strength can reach 4 MPa, the bend strength is as high as 6.65 MPa, the hygroscopic coefficient is lower than 0.22%/month and the solubility of suitable core material is 35.7-55.75 g/(min.m(2)). The wax pattern with undercuts was prepared successfully by using the novel water-soluble core material.
