At International Syalons we supply advanced sialon and zirconia ceramic materials for many industrial applications. These include:

• Industrial Wear

  

  Syalon 101 and Syalon 050 are characterised by excellent mechanical strength and hardness, making them ideal candidates for extreme wear applications. These include paper processing dewatering foils and shot blasting of abrasive grits.

• Molten Metal Handling

  

  Syalon 101 is renowned for its exceptional performance in non-ferrous molten metal handling. It is used extensively for products such as thermocouple protection sheaths, heater and riser tubes and ladles and crucibles and hooks.

• Metal forming

  

  Syalon 101 and Zircalon are used extensively in metal forming applications such as wire drawing of copper and brass, as weld location and control pins for resistance welding of captive nuts to body panels and as cutting tools for cast iron.

• Oil & Gas

  

  International Syalons manufacture a number of durable and reliable components for the oil and gas industries. These include Syalon 101 vortex hydrocyclones which are used to remove sand from offshore oil.

• Chemical & Process

  

  The Syalons excellent corrosion resistance to many acids and alkalis makes them ideal candidate materials for use in the chemical and process industries. For example, as an inlet liners in industrial chlorinators.

In addition to the above, we supply components to many other areas including the medical and automative industires. Please contact us for more information. Alternatively download our Applications of Syalons PDF.
