Technology & Products
Key Products
Ceria (Cerium oxide); Potassium sodium niobate (doped variants); Tailor-made submicron ceramic oxide powders; Solid oxide cell materials (electrodes, electrolytes)
Technological Advantage
Proprietary spray pyrolysis process achieves high purity and tailored compositions unavailable commercially, verified in EU projects (e.g., NESSIE) where materials reached 95-98% density after 3D printing; defensible through trade secrets and research collaborations.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Provides custom ceramic oxide powders with precise specifications (submicron, 40+ elements) at competitive prices, reducing material development time from months to weeks and enabling 95-98% density in 3D printed parts for applications like solid oxide cells and piezoelectrics.
How They Differentiate
Offers broader material range (40+ elements vs. competitors' limited portfolios) with custom synthesis at semi-industrial scale; specifically validated for ceramic AM (e.g., with Lithoz printers) achieving 95-98% density, whereas competitors focus on general ceramics or non-AM applications.
