STEATITE

Basic properties

High electrical insulation at high temperature
Good mechanical resistance
Very low dielectric loss factor

Applications

Steatite properties are ideal for high frequency and high electrical insulation.
Steatite is an excellent material for electrical engineering because it can be easily and directly sintered in various shapes such as rings, spacers, beads…
Staetite has been used for many year in big industrial systems such as appliance, aviation, automotive…

VITROCERAM

Basic properties

Vitroceram is a glass ceramic which outperforms thermal resistance standards.
Vitroceram has an expansion coefficient of virtually zero at temperature up to 800°C
It will resists to the strongest thermal shocks.
Vitroceram is ideal for heating systems, as it transmits 90% of radiation in the infra-red spectrum.
The contiunous working temperature of Vitroceram is 740°C.
It can be heated up to 800°C and dropped in water at 0°C with no risk of breakage.
Generally manufactured in thicknesses of 3 mm and 5 mm, it is also available in sheets:
20′” X 65″ (508 X 1650 mm)
30″ X 65″ (760 X 1650 mm)
