001

The ability of ceramic components, such as tubes and crucibles, to withstand high temperatures without significant deformation or degradation is crucial for the extreme environments found in manufacturing applications such as kilns and furnaces used in the glass, metals, ceramics, and chemical industries.

High-Temperature Stability

002

McDanel products are indispensable for components that are subjected to abrasive wear, high stress, and friction. They are used in manufacturing processes as cutting tools, grinding media, bearings, seals, nozzles, and wear linings where they outperform traditional metallic materials.

Extreme Hardness & Wear Resistance

003

The insulating properties of McDanel ceramics provide superior protection from electrical interference and short circuits while also providing excellent thermal insulating properties in demanding applications for electronic devices and analytical instruments.
