Ceramic Filters

Foundry Additives Business Unit

Süd-Chemie Hi-Tech Ceramics Inc. belongs to the SÜD-CHEMIE Foundry Group. Hi-Tech Ceramics developed fully sintered reticulated foam ceramics in the early 1980's thereby opening the door for the filtration of high temperature alloys.

This breakthrough has led to higher quality, cleaner metal and yield improvements for investment casters and steel foundries worldwide.

The major application for reticulated ceramics as molten metal filters has well proven their thermal stability, thermal shock resistance, high surface area and predictable flow characteristics.

Hi-Tech Ceramics has fine tuned these properties, as well as others, to successfully filter superalloys, steel, iron as well as non-ferrous metals used in the aerospace, automotive, railroad and mining industries. With its application specialists and R&D team, Hi-Tech is totally committed to providing its customers with the best in filtration technology.

With the introduction of patented edge-coated products, gate filters, carousels for large castings, and the New Wave™ high surface area filter, Hi-Tech maintains its technical leadership position in ferrous filtration.
