Ceramic Hard Wearing Valve Trim

We use our tough, high strength range of ceramic materials, including Nilcra® Zirconia (PSZ or Magnesia Partially Stabilised Zirconia), Silicon Nitride (Si₃N₄) and SSN to make high performance valve trim for corrosive and abrasive fluids in demanding severe service environments.

Advantages of Nilcra^® Zirconia Ceramics

• High impact strength – tougher than Tungsten Carbide
• High mechanical strength
• Outstanding wear resistant compared to conventional or high chrome metals
• Corrosion resistant to most acids and bases
• Excellent resistance to cavitation and flashing
• High hardness

Our hard wearing, corrosion resistant ceramic materials are ideally suited for valve trim is used in:

• Ceramic ball valves
• Ceramic butterfly valves
• Ceramic globe valves
• Ceramic sliding gate valves
• Ceramic rotary valves
• Ceramic linear control valves.
