Company Profile
International Syalons (Newcastle) Limited is a leading manufacturer of advanced technical ceramics, primarily silicon nitride based sialons. These engineering ceramics enable us to solve wear, corrosion and thermal resistance problems in a wide range of industrial applications and markets, such as molten metal handling, oil & gas, chemical and process, automotive and aerospace.
Originally established in the late 1970s, International Syalons is now based in the North East of England and is the UK's leading producer of sialon and silicon nitride based advanced ceramics. We were the first company to patent and market sialon ceramics and have over 30 years experience in the development of advanced nitride based ceramics. We are experts in the field.
Sialons are silicon nitride based advanced ceramics which are characterised particularly by outstanding wear and corrosion resistance. We manufacture four grades of sialon each with unique properties. In addition, International Syalons now also offer yttria stabilised zirconia, a super tough, strong ceramic which compliments our sialons in many wear and metal forming applications.
International Syalons are committed to providing world class fine ceramic solutions to your industrial materials requirements. Our silicon nitride and sialon ceramics offer wear, corrosion and thermal resistance and are available for example as ceramic tubes, tiles, wear liners, foundry products and many more. In addition, our R & D department, in collaboration with world renowned Institutes and Universities, are continuing to develop new materials, nanomaterials, composites and cutting-edge fabrication processes to ensure our customers are getting the best advanced silicon nitride ceramics available.
