Ceramic materials are abundant on earth. Their varied chemical composition is very important because it includes a significant part of the 118 items of the periodic table. Oxides, alumina and zirconia are made of oxygen elements and a transition metal. Silicates are oxides of mixed origin naturally containing silica. in addition to oxides are non-oxides, such as carbides (e.g. silicon carbide), nitrides, silicides, tellurides, etc. the intrinsic properties of all its phases provide the properties for various uses.
The specific properties of ceramic parts are largely dependent on the properties of the raw materials used to design them.
Therefore, complete knowledge of the materials is essential in terms of responsiveness, stability, chemical purity, particle size distribution, etc.
From the choice of materials to the creation of the finished product, through recycling, synthesis, characterisation or processing, we can help you with your “materials” problems through dedicated equipment.
Our synthesis and formulation laboratory enables the development of high-performance materials suitable for every industrial use. The processes are implemented from powders or precursors in order to achieve the expected characteristics.
