Collection: Advanced Technical Ceramics for UHV

We supply advanced technical ceramics for demanding ultra-high vacuum (UHV), high-vacuum, cryogenic and high-temperature applications. Available materials include Alumina (Al₂O₃), Zirconia (ZrO₂), Silicon Carbide (SiC), Silicon Nitride (Si₃N₄), Aluminum Nitride (AlN) and Boron Nitride (BN), depending on the mechanical, thermal and electrical requirements of the application.

Our portfolio includes ceramic tubes, rods, plates, spacers, washers, screws, nuts, insulators and other precision components. We also manufacture custom ceramic parts according to customer drawings and specifications.

Material selection depends on requirements such as vacuum compatibility, electrical insulation, mechanical strength, thermal conductivity, cryogenic operation, high-temperature stability and dimensional accuracy. Please send us your drawing, operating conditions and material requirements so we can recommend a suitable ceramic material and manufacturing route.

Former Tectra Customers

We continue to supply the former Tectra standard technical ceramics portfolio, with many components manufactured by the original production partner to maintain identical dimensions, material quality and performance.

We also offer the former Tectra range of PBN/PG heaters and components for UHV, MBE, vacuum deposition and semiconductor applications. Existing tooling for previous customer projects may still be available, allowing components to be reproduced or adapted.

Simply send us the original Tectra part number, drawing or specification — we will help you identify the correct replacement.
