Ceramic Porous Material

Combining tightly toleranced pores with unique ceramic material properties enables applications not feasible before.

Ceramic porous material.

Up to 1000c for porous ceramic limited only by sealants gaskets and or hardware materials. Custom coorstek porous ceramics can be tailored from 0 1 100 µm with precision tolerances and a variety of ceramic material options. They withstand chemical erosion that occurs in other materials subjected to acidic or caustic environments. Porous ceramics can replace metal plastic or fiber based components providing equal or higher levels of performance and extending the useful component life under harsh conditions.

Uniquely porous these ceramic materials contain open cell structures that allow the free flow of liquid or gas. Porous ceramics are resistant to most acids except for hydrofluoric acid and phosphoric acid. A ceramic material is an inorganic non metallic often crystalline oxide nitride or carbide material. Porous ceramics are categorized as those ceramics having high percentage porosity between 20 and 95.

Porous ceramics are often used for chemical filtration and fluid separation. Some elements such as carbon or silicon may be considered ceramics ceramic materials are brittle hard strong in compression and weak in shearing and tension. It is also resistant to organic solvents.
