Nano SiO2 is used in the paint, rubber and cement & concrete industry, enhancing suspension stability, thixotropy, strength, toughness, wear resistance and aging resistance.
Nano Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) has a very high hardness ranging between corundum and diamond as well as a high tensile strength not only at room temperature but also at high temperatures.
Nano Si3N4 can be used for treating surfaces of special devices and tools to gain higher stress and temperature resistance. Such devices may be cutting tools, turbine blades, rotors and dies.
Nano Silver has excellent antibacterial and antibiotic characteristics. It is used in surface coatings of electronics, carbons or carbon blocks, textiles, metals, woods, ceramics, glass, papers, plastics resin and many others.
One of the main applications is in hospitals and clean rooms.
Nano Titanium Carbide (TiC) powder shows high hardness and can withstand high temperatures, with a melting point of above 3,100°C.
Nano TiC can be used for producing high quality grinding devices such as grinding pastes or grinding wheels that show improved grinding efficiency, accuracy as well as surface finish.
Nano Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) powders (dispersed) have good transparency and excellent UV light absorbing capabilities (UV-A and UV-B).
Furthermore, Nano TiO2 has a good chemical and thermal stability. It is insoluble in water, organic acid and weak inorganic acid, however is soluble in sulfuric acid, alkali and hydrofluoric acids.
Nano TiO2 is mainly used in cosmetics, coatings, printing inks, plastics, food packing material and generally as a mineral UV-filter.
Available in different particle size distributions, crystal forms (rutile, or anatase, or a mix of both) and with or without surface treatments (lipophilic, hydrophilic).
Nano Titanium Nitride (TiN) powder is chemically stable and non-toxic, shows good thermal conductivity and good absorption of infrared rays. The average particle size is 20 nm and the purity is higher than 97%.
Nano TiN is being used for the production of high quality PET-resin for PET-bottles. Such bottles show increased durability, reduced color change due to ageing and the contained liquids remain fresh longer because of the IR absorption.
Nano Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) can be used for solid lubricant materials; not only for general lubrication, but it can also be used in work environments of high temperature, high pressure, high vacuum, high load, with radiation and/or corrosive media.
This extremely fine powder (<100 nm) has a purity of min. 99%. It can also be added to speciality oils in order to improve their lubricity.
Nano Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is a white powder with peculiar properties such as screening ultra-violet rays, absorbing infra-red rays, sterilization and health protection, lowering temperature or heat insulation.
Commonly used in the rubber industry, Nano Zinc Oxide can improve tear resistance, the comprehensive mechanical property and the life span of rubber.
It is also used as an additive in numerous materials and products including different rubber qualities, plastics, ceramics, glass, cement, lubricants, paints, ointments, adhesives, sealants, pigments, foods, batteries, ferrites, fire retardants and first-aid tapes.
Nano Zirconium Carbide (ZrC) powder possesses abilities like oxidation resistance at high temperatures, high tensile strength, high hardness and good thermal conductivity.
Nano ZrC can be used in cemented carbides to produce cutting tools with improved heat transfer and increased wear resistance as well as good surface finish.
Nano Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2), also called Nano Zirconia, is a very stable nano metal oxide. Other properties are: Acid & alkali resistance, corrosion resistance and high-temperature resistance.
Nano Zirconia is mainly used in technical ceramics, pigments, abrasive materials, jewel materials, in batteries as well as capacitors.
Available in different particle size distributions as well as purities, and also as compound stabilized with yttria.
Rare Earth Powders include a set of seventeen chemical elements, specifically the fifteen lanthanides, as well as scandium and yttrium.
Various powders in different particle size distributions are available.
Our Amorphous Silica (also Fumed Silica) is available as micro scaled and as nano scaled material. It is for example used for strengthening concretes, or as a filler in plastics or in insulation panels.
Silicon Carbide (SiC), also known as carborundum, is a semiconductor containing silicon and carbon. Grains of Silicon Carbide can be bonded together by sintering to form very hard ceramics that are widely used in applications requiring high endurance, such as brake pads or clutch facings, as well as ceramic plates.
Silicon Carbide is a popular abrasive in modern lapidary due to the durability and low cost of the material. In manufacturing it is used for its hardness in abrasive machining processes such as grinding, honing, water-jet cutting and sandblasting. It is also used for high performance "ceramic" brake discs, as it is able to withstand extreme temperatures.
We can supply green and black Silicon Carbide.
Tungsten Disulfide is a high performance solid lubricant with superior chemical and physical properties; it is one of the most lubricious materials known in science.
