Steatite is a silicate-ceramic material<\/strong> based on soapstone, with a proportion of 75 – 90 %. Mechanical stability values can be increased with the addition of zirconium oxide.<\/p>\n Typical moulding procedures are dry pressing, extrusion, ceramic injection moulding, slip casting and wet pressing.<\/p>\n The design examples illustrate the variety of shapes that can be achieved through dry pressing technology. When materials are substituted, the experiences of the manufacturer in terms of a ceramics-compatible construction should be taken into account from the very beginning.<\/p>\n Steatite is sintered at approx. 1300 \u00b0C. To retain dirt-repellent surfaces, steatite can also be glazed.<\/p>\n Steatite displays the following critical properties:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Its outstanding electrical insulation properties have made steatite one of the most important materials in electrical engineering. Some fields of application:<\/p>\n Apart from the aluminium oxide material RAPOX<\/strong>, steatite is also used as a high-voltage insulator.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We will be pleased to draw up an offer for you! For this purpose, we request a customer specification drawing, with details of quantities and required tolerances.<\/p>\n For very small tolerances the parts have to be grinded.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Production & properties Steatite is a silicate-ceramic material based on soapstone, with a proportion of 75 – 90 %.
