Ceramic Assembly
Some Industries We Serve:
Lighting
| Halogen / Dichroic / HPS Lamps / Metal Halide
- Potting or bonding applications
- Ceramic and quartz assembly typical
- Requires low coefficient of thermal expansion
- High thermal conductivity preferred



Thermocouples
| Samplers / Sensors / Tips / Tube
- Potting application of quartz into ceramic body requiring high thermal properties
- Adhesive application to affix thermal insulating tape to cardboard
- Coating application for sampling caps


High-Temperature Filters/Catalysts
- Adhesive applications
- Bonds high-temperature filter media into stainless steel or aluminum housing
- May Bonds stacked components or internal components nested within a filter unit



Heating Elements
| Coils / Cartridge Heaters / Sheath
- Thermally conductive cement
- Enables transmission or dissipation of heat
- Secures element and maintains assembly
- High temperature resistance and electrical insulation


Resistors
| Wire Wound / “Boat” or “Bathtub” / Rheostat
- Coating, potting, and/or encapsulation
- Seals resistance wire placed in or upon ceramic base
- Specified for electrical insulation



Hot Surface Ignitors
| Hot Surface / Spark / Silicon Carbide / Silicon Nitride
- Low thermal expansion cement required
- Offers refractory properties through 2600°F
- Cement required for bonding or potting wire into ceramic body
- Able to withstand low voltages during ignition



Additional applications exist in, but not limited to, the following
- Fiber optics
- Solar
- Automotive
- Wafer manufacturing
- Aerospace
- Pressurized metering devices
- Cutlery
Quick Facts
