More info

Ceramic Precursor materials serve as essential starting compounds for fabricating advanced ceramics through processes such as polymer-derived ceramics (PDC) and precursor infiltration pyrolysis (PIP). These precursors, available in liquid or solid forms, undergo curing and high-temperature pyrolysis to form high-performance ceramic matrices. They are widely used in ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), 3D printing, and high-temperature coatings. Multi-phase ceramic precursors, composed of elements such as silicon, zirconium, hafnium, and tantalum, enable precise control over composition and microstructure. With their ability to produce complex shapes with near-net forming techniques, they offer an efficient route for manufacturing durable, heat-resistant materials. Heeger Materials provides high-quality ceramic precursors for various high-performance applications.

Ceramic Precursor Key Features

  • Low viscosity
  • High ceramic yield
  • Relatively simple ceramicization process
  • Can design single-phase and multi-phase materials
  • Capable of curing through moisture at room temperature or heat curing

Ceramic Precursor Usage And Storage Recommendations

  • Processing Methods: Various techniques, such as brushing, coating, dipping, and spraying, can be selected based on actual requirements.
  • Dilution: It can be diluted with xylene or other solvents.
  • Curing Conditions: Crosslinking and curing can be achieved at 80-250°C, either in air or an inert atmosphere.
  • Storage: Keep in a dry, cool environment at temperatures below 25°C for 3-8 months. Refrigerated storage (4-10°C) is recommended for better preservation.
  • Usage After Opening: It is recommended to use the entire contents at once after opening. If not fully used, immediately ensure the container is tightly sealed.

Ceramic Precursor Applications

  • Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs): Used in the production of high-performance ceramic-based composite materials with excellent thermal and mechanical stability.
  • High-Temperature Adhesives: Provides strong bonding at extreme temperatures for aerospace and industrial applications.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Coatings: Forms protective ceramic layers to enhance chemical and oxidation resistance in harsh environments.
  • High-Temperature Oxidation-Resistant Ceramic Coatings: Offers superior thermal stability and oxidation resistance for aerospace and industrial components.
  • Thermosetting Resins: Used as precursors for polymer-derived ceramics in advanced manufacturing, including aerospace, semiconductors, electronics, and new energy vehicles.

Ceramic Precursor Packing And Shipping

Ceramic Precursor should be stored in a sealed container in a dry, cool environment and kept away from moisture and air exposure for prolonged periods. HM provides secure packaging, including vacuum-sealed and airtight containers, ensuring safe storage and transportation. Custom packaging options are available based on specific requirements.
