Technical ceramics
Chemical resistance & biocompatibility
Technical ceramics play a key role in the field of materials, especially when it comes to chemical resistance and compatibility with biological systems.
Discover how this class of materials is used in various industries, from medicine to chemistry, and fulfils the highest standards in terms of biocompatibility and chemical stability.
Chemical resistance
Even the most resistant materials can be limited in their application possibilities if they are susceptible to erosion by chemicals. Technical ceramics offer many special features in terms of chemical reactivity. It is chemically inert and has high corrosion resistance to acids and alkalis.
Alumina and silicon carbide, for example, have a particularly high chemical resistance (low chemical solubility) and do not change their shape and properties when immersed in an acid or alkali.

Biocompatibility
In addition to its chemical resistance to acids and alkalis, technical ceramics are also biocompatible, making them increasingly important in medical applications. For example, technical ceramics can be used as implants or surgical and diagnostic instruments without causing immune reactions in the body.
