TORAY | Ceramics Torayceram*

Toray is constantly progressing into new frontiers of advanced materials, backed by its long experience and superior technical know-how in the fields of synthetic fibers and plastics.
Torayceram* ceramics materials with high performance are one successful achievement of Toray's wide-range material development technology.

Toray initiated the Ceramics Department in 1981, starting with the development of synthetic technology for zirconia powder. Since then, we have focused on the development and the marketing of various zirconia products including oxygen sensors, cutters for textile machines, and beads for pulverization and dispersion, as well as the mass-production of zirconia powder. Now we are handling the wide range of materials in addition to zirconia, and their applications are also becoming more various. The ceramics materials we handle and the products of these fine ceramics are collectively called as Torayceram*.

These high performance and multi-function ceramics materials are produced by Toray's original technology starting from the synthesis of powder materials to forming, sintering and final processing of the products. Torayceram* has assorted variety of ceramics materials. Torayceram includes such products of fine ceramics as zirconia (ZrO₂), alumina (Al₂O₃), silicon carbide (SiC) and silicon nitride (Si₃N₄). Toray is expanding the potential use of Torayceram to meet the needs of customers.
