Steatite Ceramics
What is Steatite Ceramics and Key Properties?
Steatite ceramics, also known as soapstone ceramics, are a type of ceramic material made primarily from steatite, a naturally occurring mineral composed mainly of magnesium silicate. Steatite ceramics are valued for their unique combination of physical and electrical properties, making them widely used in various industrial applications.
- Electrical Insulation: Steatite has excellent electrical insulating properties, even at high temperatures, making it suitable for electrical components
- High Dielectric Strength: It can withstand high voltage without breaking down
- Thermal Stability: It has good resistance to thermal shock and can operate at temperatures up to 1000°C or higher.
- Chemical Resistance: It is chemically stable and resists corrosion from most chemicals, including acids and bases.
