CoorsTek tubes and rods are utilized in the following markets:
Alumina is the most widely used technical ceramic, being the ceramic of choice in about 80% of engineering applications due to its versatile combination of properties.
Fired at over °C / °F to give a fully dense technical ceramic, alumina has:
Alumina is often used as a replacement for metallic components in demanding engineering applications.
IPS Ceramics supply 95% alumina for general applications below ºC / °F. 99% alumina is used for applications involving higher temperatures (up to ºC / °F) or where a greater chemical resistance is required.

Zirconia Toughened Alumina is also available.
Alumina tiles are often used as substrates for mounting electronic packages, providing good heat dissipation and electrical insulation. Other uses include non-reactive supports for thermal processing. Tiles are available in sizes up to 400mm square with thicknesses from 25mm down to 0.4mm. Laser cutting allows thin tiles to be ‘drilled’, cut or scored to order.
IPS stocks ceramic tubes and rods in 99% alumina with other grades available to order. Thermally stable up to oC, our high quality ceramic tubes and rods can be specified in different diameters and lengths. Tubes can have either open or closed ends.

Alumina is the material of choice for sample holders and high-tech test equipment used at elevated temperatures. We stock various sizes and shapes of Alumina Crucibles and Boats from 1cm³ to 20cm³ (with non-standard shapes and sizes available to order). Matching lids are available for many items.
Ignition trays are used in a wide variety of industrial processes and tests. We offer trays in 95% alumina which is suitable for most applications. Sizes up to 20cm long and 2cm deep are typical.
Where an item needs lifting or separating from the furnace base/batt, alumina stilts, pips or pins can be used. The chemical stability of alumina helps to avoid interaction with the product and these alumina supports (often described as ‘consumable’ or ‘disposable’) can normally be re-used many times. We offer a range of sizes and designs.
We can design and manufacture a range of bespoke alumina shapes to fit your exact requirements. We can make very complex components to very tight tolerances. We can manufacture Alumina pieces through casting, injection moulding, extrusion, dry / isostatic pressing, and 3D printing.
Used by the laboratory, research and EV Battery industries, IPS Ceramics’ Alumina Module System is a compact and highly versatile modular system that can be used to hold multiple small components during heat treatment. The sizes of Alumina Module can be adjusted based on your exact requirements, and individual Alumina Modules can be easily stacked.
Used by the EV Battery industry for firing volatile lithium compounds, as well as in applications involving high temperatures, these highly insulating kiln bricks are suitable for use in temperatures up to °C. Their high alumina content makes them resistant to chemical attacks from kiln atmosphere.
Used in the heavy clay and brickmaking industries to create holes and cutouts within extruded products. Alumina’s strength and high wear resistance gives our extrusion cores an extremely long service life, particularly when compared to standard metal cores.
Alumina sleeves, liners and rams are used in heavy duty pumps operating in a wide range of industrial applications. The high wear resistance of alumina allows these pumps to cope with unwanted grit and solids, allowing for effective and long-term usage. Our Alumina Sleeves often last three or more times longer than conventional sleeves.
Wear Resistant Tiles are typically applied to the interior surface of a steel shell, providing them with vastly improved strength and durability. Our tiles have exceptional resistance to abrasion, impact and corrosion, giving them a significantly long service life even in high-wear applications.
