CHICAGO, IL, June 10, 2009 -- Sunrock Ceramics Company, LLC, a
manufacturer of pressed and cast high alumina industrial ceramics for the
powder metallurgy and technical ceramics markets, announces the introduction
of 99.55% alumina bricks and other specialty shapes designed for use in
reducing atmospheres, such as hydrogen at high temperature, or other
applications requiring very high chemical inertness. The high density material,
called HPA-99, is ideal for hot-face linings in high-temperature hydrogen
atmosphere sintering furnaces. HPA-99 has been successfully field tested at
leading PM parts manufacturers and furnace OEMs in both the US and Europe
for the past 18 months. In addition to pressing bricks with HPA-99, Sunrock can
cast the material for specialty shapes such as hearth plates and press a variety
of kiln furniture shapes utilizing Sunrock’s wide assortment of press tooling.
“The development of HPA-99 is a great addition to the family of high alumina
ceramics we presently make for the powder metallurgy and technical ceramics
markets, including HPA for high temperature kiln furniture and HPA-CG for
pusher plates” reports Doug Thurman, president of Sunrock Ceramics. “HPA-99
is also ideal in other applications where exceedingly high chemical inertness is of
critical importance, such as in the firing of piezo ceramics.”
Sunrock Ceramics is dedicated to working with customers to develop sintering
solutions specific to each application. For more information about Sunrock
