## Resource

In the world of ceramics, temporary binders play a crucial role in improving the cohesion and workability of slips. These substances, often polymer-based, act on a chemical level by creating bonds between particles, increasing the mechanical strength of the mixture. In this episode, we explore what they are, how they work, and why they are essential in modern ceramic processes.
