High-Perfor­mance Ceram­ics Based on Stabi­lized Zirco­nium Diox­ide (ZrO₂) – Advanced Solu­tions for Indus­try and Labo­ra­tory Zirco­nium diox­ide (ZrO₂) is one of the most advanced mate­ri­als in the field of tech­ni­cal ceram­ics. Due to its natural insta­bil­ity at room temper­a­ture, ZrO₂ must be stabi­lized through the targeted addi­tion of oxides such as yttrium oxide (Y₂O₃), magne­sium oxide (MgO), calcium oxide (CaO), or aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃). This process yields a high-perfor­mance ceramic with excep­tional phys­i­cal and chem­i­cal prop­er­ties, includ­ing high temper­a­ture resis­tance, extreme hard­ness, outstand­ing frac­ture tough­ness, and very low ther­mal conduc­tiv­ity. GTS GmbH special­izes in the produc­tion of preci­sion compo­nents made from stabi­lized zirco­nia. Our ceramic parts are increas­ingly used in labo­ra­tory applications—in the form of crucibles, ashing dishes, tubes, plates, and custom designs. The high purity and chem­i­cal inert­ness of ZrO₂ make it ideal for demand­ing ther­mal and analyt­i­cal processes. In addi­tion to labo­ra­tory appli­ca­tions, GTS is expand­ing its port­fo­lio of custom-engi­neered ceramic compo­nents for mechan­i­cal engi­neer­ing, elec­tron­ics, optics, and medical tech­nol­ogy. Due to its excel­lent mechan­i­cal perfor­mance, biocom­pat­i­bil­ity, and ther­mal stabil­ity, stabi­lized zirco­nia is ideal for use in wear parts, insu­la­tors, sensor hous­ings, dental appli­ca­tions, and implantable medical devices. Our manu­fac­tur­ing capa­bil­i­ties allow for both small series and bespoke compo­nents accord­ing to customer spec­i­fi­ca­tions. GTS guar­an­tees high­est qual­ity, precise fabri­ca­tion, and mate­r­ial-appro­pri­ate design—hallmarks of future-oriented high-perfor­mance ceramic produc­tion “Made in Germany.” Rely on GTS—your expert part­ner for advanced ceramic mate­ri­als and high-tech compo­nents made from stabi­lized ZrO₂.
