Ceramic Materials
OXIDES | NON-OXIDES | COmposites
Calix Ceramic Solutions offers a complete advanced ceramic materials portfolio including both ceramic oxide and ceramic non-oxide materials and ceramic composites. Technical ceramics, or advanced structural ceramics, are also known as engineered or fine ceramics. Technical ceramics are classified into several material categories: oxides, non-oxides, and composites.
