Ceramic Porous Material

Porous ceramics are categorized as those ceramics having high percentage porosity between 20 and 95.

Ceramic porous material.

Porous ceramics are resistant to most acids except for hydrofluoric acid and phosphoric acid. Porous ceramics can replace metal plastic or fiber based components providing equal or higher levels of performance and extending the useful component life under harsh conditions. In alkaline solutions porous ceramics are resistant up to ph9. These materials composed of at least two phases like solid ceramic phase and the gas filled porous phase the gas content of these pores usually regulates itself to the environment as an exchange of gas with the environment is possible through pore channels.

Up to 1000c for porous ceramic limited only by sealants gaskets and or hardware materials. They withstand chemical erosion that occurs in other materials subjected to acidic or caustic environments. Custom coorstek porous ceramics can be tailored from 0 1 100 µm with precision tolerances and a variety of ceramic material options. A ceramic material is an inorganic non metallic often crystalline oxide nitride or carbide material.

Porous ceramics are often used for chemical filtration and fluid separation. Some elements such as carbon or silicon may be considered ceramics ceramic materials are brittle hard strong in compression and weak in shearing and tension. It is also resistant to organic solvents.
