Our materials

Advanced ceramics, also known as industrial or engineering ceramics, are non-metallic materials produced on the basis of ceramic powder by sintering and optimised for technical applications.

Properties such as hardness, wear resistance, temperature resistance, impact strength, abrasion resistance and non-stick properties help to make processes and procedures in machines and systems safer and more quality-oriented. Increasingly, components made of high-performance ceramics are replacing conventional materials such as metal.

When metals or plastics cause problems in technical processes, they are replaced by components made of high-performance ceramics.

In addition to exceptional wear resistance and temperature stability, electrical and magnetic neutrality are among the many advantages of advanced ceramics. In addition, components made of our materials are solder-repellent, abrasion-resistant and resistant to cold welding. The use of advanced ceramics makes it possible to achieve more than 20 times the service life of conventional materials.

Doceram

Aluminium oxide

Aluminium oxide is the oxygen compound of the element aluminium. The raw material for this substance is the aluminium ore bauxite. Caustic soda lye is used for splitting this ore into aluminium hydroxide. Calcination and complex grinding processes are used to create high-quality, high-purity AI2O3.
