Alumina / Al2O3 is an excellent electrical insulator and one of the most widely used advanced ceramic materials. Additionally, it is extremely resistant to wear and corrosion. Alumina components are used in a wide range of applications such as electronics, pump components and automotive sensors. UNIPRETEC offers a variety of alumina compositions, including 92% Alumina, 95% Alumina, 96% Alumina, 99% Alumina, 99.5% Alumina and 99.8% Alumina.
Boron Nitride / BN machinable ceramic is made by hot pressing Boron Nitride powders at high temperature and pressure. UNIPRETEC's Boron Nitride (BN) can easily be machined into rods, bars, plates and even intricate custom shapes.The unique combination of highly exceptional thermal, physical and chemical characteristics of BN Boron Nitride ceramic makes it ideal for solving tough challenges in a wide range of industrial applications.
Silicon carbide / SiC, exceedingly hard, synthetically produced crystalline compound of silicon and carbon. Its chemical formula is SiC. Since the late 19th century silicon carbide has been an important material for sandpapers, grinding wheels, and cutting tools. More recently, it has found application in refractory linings and heating elements for industrial furnaces, in wear-resistant parts for pumps and rocket engines, and in semiconducting substrates for light-emitting diodes.
Silicon Nitride / Si3N4 is a high performance ceramic that is extremely hard and has exceptional thermal shock and impact resistance. It surpasses most metals high temperature capabilities and has a superior combination of creep and oxidation resistance. Additionally, its low thermal conductivity and high wear resistance make it an excellent material that can withstand the toughest of conditions in the most demanding industrial applications.
