Supply thermal-processing systems for the electronics- and materials-processing markets; manufacture systems engineered for a range of materials-processing applications, typically requiring high temperatures and precise atmospheric control.
Manufacture complex ceramic shapes requiring closely controlled tolerances and uniform composition and structure. Products include alumina, fused silica and SiC items for the powder metals, superalloy, chemical, industrial process heating, ferrous and non-ferrous metal melting and casting, and petrochemical industries.
Established 1973. Design and fabricate gantries, robots and automated materials-handling systems as well as provide factory automation consulting and systems integration services for the ceramics and refractories industries.
Manufacture quality instrumentation for colloid and polymer characterization, quality control and research applications. Particle-size measurements are obtained utilizing dynamic light scattering or discentrifugation. Instruments that determine zeta-potential by particle electrophoresis, phase analysis and streaming potential also available.
Supply high-purity metals, chemical compounds, gases and ceramics. Specialize in vitreous carbon, BN and pyrolytic graphite. Chemicals for the electronics industry, R&D and lab.
Supply chemicals and other raw materials to the ceramics industry in North America and Europe. Materials inventoried in warehouses strategically located throughout the United States, Europe and Asia to guarantee continuity of supply and to offer just-in-time deliveries. Offer technical-grade phosphates (Chemische Fabrik Budenheim) and sized powders (Keyvest), spray-dried sodium silicate powders, fluorides, fluorborates and wet fiberglass chop.
Manufacture kiln furniture, special refractory shapes and technical ceramics in cordierite, mullite, alumina and fused silica. Products include kiln shelves, posts, dinnerware setters, stilts, tile setters, saggers, element plates, pouring cups, crucibles, special shapes and foundry specialties.
