Silicate ceramics
Silicate ceramics are produced from natural raw materials
such as clay or steatite.
In fact, their property profile is ideal:
- Outstanding electric and thermal insulation properties
- Good resistance to sudden changes in temperature
- Minimum/defined heat expansion
- Mechanical strength
- Corrosion resistance
Because of these advantages and their easy manufacturability, silicate ceramics are competitive performers in electrical and thermal applications. Moreover, their optimum porosity makes them ideal for applications in light fuel elements.
