Technical Ceramics

Technical ceramics is the term used for products manufactured with advanced engineering raw materials and processes, offering specific chemical and physical characteristics for various applications. In this segment, low soda calcined alumina is widely used as a primary raw material due to its high purity and chemical stability.

The reduced sodium content in alumina prevents the formation of cracks and defects during sintering, which is crucial to maintaining the mechanical and chemical properties of the material under adverse conditions. Strict control of the size and distribution of low soda alumina particles allows for the proper dispersion of this raw material during product processing.

High alumina balls, in turn, play an essential role in suspending barbonite, providing better particle dispersion, resulting in a homogeneous distribution of the compound and the production of ceramic bodies with uniform surfaces. The combination of homogeneous dispersion with low soda alumina is fundamental for applications that require precision, such as electrical components and parts that need to withstand high temperatures without losing their volumetric stability.
