A method for producing an abradable coating for a component of a turbo-machine is disclosed. The method includes a) a powdery material is pretreated; b) a processable preliminary product is produced which is to be applied to a component that is to be coated; c) the preliminary product is applied to the component that is to be coated; d) a synthetic binder contained in the preliminary product is burned off; e) the component is sintered; and f) the component is post-processed. The method for producing an abradable coating for a turbo-machine eliminates the drawbacks of the solutions known from the prior art. In particular, the method is inexpensive, can easily be combined with other production process steps, for example, thermal treatments that have to be carried out anyway, and is also suitable as a method for repairs.
