What is it?

Steatite is a crystalline form of magnesium silicate. It is a low-loss, low-cost insulation material with relatively good electrical resistance, which can work safely at high temperatures.

Applications

Ceramic steatite is an excellent material for electrical engineering, as it is easy to mould and sinter in a wide variety of shapes, such as washers, bushings, resistors, spacers and beads. Industrial applications of steatite include high-frequency insulation products, resistor cores and casings and insulators for household appliances and hydraulics.

Properties of steatite:

High electrical resistance at high temperatures
Good mechanical resistance
Excellent dielectric resistance
Low dissipation factor

Products made using steatite:

Components for electrical engineering
Tubes and instruments for electrical engineering
Large-scale industrial systems
Electrical and light insulation
Ceramic tubes for resistors
Ceramic bushings
Ceramic bearings
Ceramic thread guides
Steatite terminal strips
