Technical ceramics - Import export

Alumina is the more common name of aluminium oxide. It is a hard-wearing technical ceramic offering an excellent combination of both mechanical and electrical properties and is ideally suited to a wide range of industrial applications.

Silicon Nitride (Si3N4), just like its close family relation silicon carbide, is one of the toughest technical ceramics available. Over the years it has been successfully used in a wide and interesting field of applications ranging from automotive engine components to roller bearings for the most exclusive skateboards (right).

Macor Machinable Glass Ceramic is one of the most versatile and unique technical ceramics available and as you would expect from Corning’s principal, longest serving and highly-respected UK distributor, Precision Ceramics offers a complete, fast turnaround, research and development, design, prototyping and manufacturing service which is second to none! We’re also experts in Macor Machining and Metallization.

Ceramic coatings in the form of inorganic base sol-gel, form a very thin layer of 35 µ ± 5 yet a very hard (9H Pencil hardness) surface. Ceramic, by nature is an excellent conductor of heat, F-LON® ceramic coatings can be applied in many applications where one or more of the following properties are required: High heat resistance (450°C) Hard surface yet high impact resistance Exceptional wear resistance Good corrosion resistance and/or anti-fouling properties Stain resistance and good clean-ability (equivalent to a vitreous enamel) Low coefficient of friction Higher heat transfer coefficient Excellent Nonstick The newest product in our range is F-LON® 9000 which is cutting-edge technology, based on a Sol-Gel process resulting in coatings with the following characteristics. PTFE-free Zero PFOA / APFO / C8 (oranalogues thereof) Highly temperature resistant (up to 450°C) and possibly beyond Extremely hard (up to 9H)
