Technical ceramics

Technical ceramics are characterised by their high mechanical strength, durability and heat resistance as well as by their unique electrical properties. They are therefore indispensable in a wide range of strategic applications both essential for everyday life and providing solutions to global problems. Examples include:

• Improvements in security (f.e. crash/airbag sensors, fire protection, military protection)
• Improvements in health (f.e. prostheses, pacemakers, cochlear implants)
• Improvements for the environment (filter systems e.g. catalytic converters, high pressure fuel injection, thermostats, insulation)

EuTeCer represents the technical ceramics industry in Europe, with members in the UK, Germany and Turkey. Further memberships are expected in the near future.
