Dense ceramics are very technical and offer a complementary solution alternative to other materials.

Their characteristics are:
- Very high toughness
- Very high mechanical resistance
- Very good wear resistance and resistance to abrasion
- Electric and dielectric isolation
- Resistance to extreme temperatures
- Total chemical inertia
- Completely biocompatible and hypoallergenic

TECHNICAL CERAMICS

Given its characteristics of high performance in terms of mechanics, thermal, structural and chemical this material can be used in a wide range of industries such as:

   

  • Mechanical equipments
  • Aeronautics and spatial
  • Medical and scientific
  • Power electronics, microelectronics
  • Nuclear
  • Measure and control
  • Equipments submitted to temperature

 

 

AESTHETICAL CERAMICS

Ceramic is a material which is both very hard and very warm to the touch. This technical material is totally hypoallergenic and scratchproof and is a sure bet on the long run for your creations in:

  • Watch making: bezels, watch crowns, pushers, middles, bracelet meshes, backs, inserts…
  • Jewelry: links, rings, inserts, patterns…
  • Telephony: keys, inserts, patterns…

In order to develop a product with a strong identity, several finishing options are possible such as bobbing, polishing, satin, laser engraving, or sand blasting.
