The present invention relates to a binder composition for metal powder injection molding, and more specifically, to a binder composition for metal powder injection molding, which can be promptly debound, facilitates the setting of flow conditions in an injection process, and enables the minimization of poor debinding such as swelling, carbonization of low-molecular-weight binders, and other internal defects, during a debinding process.

The binder composition for metal powder injection molding of the present invention contains 10 to 50 wt % of a high-viscosity polyoxymethylene polymer and 50 to 90 wt % of a low-viscosity polyoxymethylene polymer.

By containing polyoxymethylenes alone, which has been produced with different viscosities, without feeding of other monomers in the polymerization process of polyoxymethylene, the binder composition for metal powder injection molding according to the present invention is more economical through low manufacturing costs compared with a conventional technique in which the rate of decomposition by a gas-phase acid is controlled by viscosity adjustment in a polymerization process, and has excellent injection characteristics and debinding/sintering characteristics compared with a technique in which polyoxymethylene and other polymer resins, such as polyolefins and polyamides, are used together.

A tribologically modified polyoxymethylene polymer composition is disclosed. The polyoxymethylene polymer composition is comprised of a polyoxymethylene polymer, reinforcing fibers, and at least one tribological modifier. The tribological modifier, in one embodiment, can comprise a graft copolymer. The use of a graft copolymer has been found to unexpectedly and dramatically improve noise generation when tested against various substrates, especially glass substrates.
