Abstract: A water solvent extraction degreasing method capable of reducing degreasing time without consideration of abrupt decomposition/vaporization and swelling caused by heat. An organic binder is removed from a molded product that is produced by a powder material mixed with the organic binder and this organic binder contains at least one water-soluble organic compound and at least one water-insoluble thermoplastic resin. The degreasing step of this method includes a water solvent extraction step for extracting the water-soluble organic compound from the organic binder contained in the molded product, using water as a solvent.

Abstract: A low-cost thermal decomposition degreasing method capable of drastically reducing the time required for a degreasing process which involves heating, vaporization and thermal decomposition, while assuring the shape retention property of an injection molded product during degreasing. The degreasing process comprises: (i) a first step wherein a molded product placed under a reduced pressure less than or equal to atmospheric pressure is heated at a temperature lower than the melting point of a thermoplastic binder so that the thermoplastic binder partially evaporates by 5 wt % or more, and then the molded product is further heated at a temperature lower than higher one of the melting points of a more volatile organic compound and a thermoplastic resin whereby the thermoplastic binder further evaporates by 10 wt % or more, and wherein the final temperature is set to 200.degree.
