The Challenge:
Purity, Strength, and Safety Must All Align
Producing ultra-high-purity alumina for medical ceramics is uniquely demanding. Materials must be ultra-pure to avoid trace contaminants like Fe or Na that can cause inflammatory reactions or device failure. At the same time, they must offer high strength and wear resistance, with tight control of particle size and morphology to ensure dense, defect-free ceramics. Add the need for regulatory compliance—with full traceability and qualification to standards like ISO 13485—and it becomes clear: medical-grade ultra-high-purity alumina requires precision across purity, performance, and documentation
How We Help:
Purity And Traceability Built For Regulated Ceramics
We deliver 4N and 5N ultra-high-purity alumina with tightly controlled PSD, morphology, and impurity levels to meet the demands of medical ceramics. Our materials enable dense, defect-free parts with high strength and biocompatibility—ideal for pressing, sintering, or machining. With full traceability and documentation, we support ISO 13485 and FDA-aligned manufacturing, helping customers meet the highest standards for safety, reliability, and performance.
