Somerset Materials is a specialized producer of sub-micron materials, which are the most versatile and high-performing materials of the 21st century. We have a strong technical team with many experienced researchers and engineers who have been engaged in the study of sub-micron materials for many years. At the same time, we maintain close relationship with experts from research departments of top tier university and Ceramics Research Institute.

 

Based on the chemical co-precipitation method, which is the most successful and the most widely used method in the current sub-micron manufacture industry with the highest investment returns, we apply the most reasonable production technology to optimize the stirring and washing of the reactants as well as the prevention of the growth of aggregates and particles, efficiently producing high quality submicron materials. Our main products are partially stabilized zirconia, fully stabilized zirconia and toughened alumina, etc.. The specific compounds we provide are zirconium hydroxide, zirconium oxide, yttria zirconia, magnesia zirconia, calcia zirconia, ceria zirconia, and alumina zirconia. Various powders and granulations are also available. In addition, we produce zirconia ceramics and toughened alumina ceramics series products.

 

With the rapid development of new materials for the electronics, aerospace, information industries, the demand for metal oxides chemical products is growing rapidly, and zirconium sub-micron materials are becoming ever more widely used.

 

At present, zirconium sub-micron materials are used mainly for sensors, ceramic pigments, artificial crystals, engineering ceramics, electronic components, refractory materials, mechanical moulds, automobile exhaust gas treatment, high-performance ceramic products additives, and other structural ceramics products. Zirconia sub-micron ceramics are mainly used for manufacturing electronic components, such as oxygen sensors, PTC ceramics, electronic substrates, withstanding voltage capacitors, and mechanical moulds, etc. Using the outstanding surface activity and low-temperature sintering property of sub-micron materials, we have greatly raised the quality of traditional ceramic products. At the same time, we have improved the environment and reduced the material consumption, which meets the requirements of the sustainable development of economy and social environment. In addition, our products have extensive applications in the fields of high strength, high wear resistance and heat-resistant devices, ductile ceramics, ceramic coating and advanced refractory products.
