Our principal materials are:

Alumina
A range of high purity alumina materials for use in high temperature, wear, corrosive or electrical insulation applications. Stock available in rods, tubes, thermocouple protection tubes, plates, crucibles, insulators. Special shapes also available on request.

Mullite
Synthetic mullite ceramics with high thermal shock and operating temperatures up to 2910F (1600C) for use in furnaces, heaters, electrical insulation, wear application, corrosion resistant areas. Stock available in rods, Mullite tubes, insulators, thermocouple sheaths, crucibles. Special shapes also available on request.

Silicon Carbide
Porous silicon carbides with excellent thermal shock, high strength and high temperature operating capability up to 2910 F (1600C). Excellent for use in furnaces and molten metal applications due to it’s non wetting properties. Stock available in tubes, thermocouple sheaths, rods, crucibles and beams.

Zirconia
A range of zirconia materials either dense or with porosity. These materials offer high temperature capability upto 4370F (2400C) as well as excellent performance in areas of high wear and corrosion. Products are available as tubes, rods, Zirconia crucibles and a wide range of other shapes.

Rare Earth materials
Rare earth refractory oxide ceramics exhibiting very high thermal stability, wear resistance and strength. Widely used in applications above 3090F (1700C), nuclear, high performance metal melting, oxygen sensors and semiconductor applications. Products are offered in a wide range of shapes including crucibles, ceramic tubes, laboratory furniture and thermocouple sheaths.

Refractory Materials
In addition to the principle materials listed above Anderman also offers a range of specialty refractory materials for high temperature applications.

Technical Ceramics
In addition to the principal materials listed above we are also able to offer a number of special technical ceramic materials for a range of high temperature, wear and electrical resistance applications.

Our range of ceramic materials is considerable and our experience enables us to source other, more specialist materials, upon request. We can manufacture to most dimensional requests and also hold considerable stocks of standard shapes and sizes.
With our manufacturing partners we have over 100 years experience in ceramic forming technology utilising processes such as extrusion, slip casting, injection moulding, isostatic pressing and uniaxial pressing.
