Precision Ceramic Components for Sanitary Applications

Sanitary Ceramics for Reliable Sealing and Control

firedect offers high-quality ceramic components for demanding applications in sanitary technology. Our ceramic sealing, control and diverter discs combine high hardness, wear resistance and chemical resistance with precisely finished surfaces.

The result: reliable sealing, precise control and long service life – even under changing water temperatures and water pressure.

Whether you need standard components, different sizes or a customised ceramic solution, firedect supports you in finding the right solution for your application.

Ceramic Sealing, Control and Diverter Discs

Ceramic components are an established solution for applications where durability, precision and resistance are essential.

firedect supplies ceramic discs for different functions in sanitary technology:

Why Use Ceramics in Sanitary Technology?

Ceramics combine several properties that are particularly valuable for sanitary applications.

High Hardness

The high hardness of ceramic materials provides excellent resistance to mechanical wear and contributes to long service life.

Wear Resistance

Ceramic components are highly resistant to wear and are therefore suitable for applications involving frequent movement and repeated operation.

Chemical Resistance

The ceramic material is resistant to acids and bases and is suitable for demanding environments in sanitary technology.

Temperature Resistance

Ceramic components can withstand changing water temperatures and are therefore suitable for applications exposed to thermal fluctuations.

Precision Surfaces

Precisely ground and polished surfaces are essential for reliable sealing and sliding performance. firedect uses precision grinding and polishing processes to achieve defined surface qualities.

Precision Grinding and Polishing

For ceramic sealing and control discs, the quality of the surface is just as important as the material itself.

Precision grinding and polishing allow firedect to produce ceramic components with defined surface properties. This supports reliable sealing and sliding performance and contributes to long service life.

Our ceramic components can achieve a surface roughness of Ra 0.1–0.3 after polishing, with a waviness of Rt < 0.6 μm.

FAQ About Sanitary Ceramics

What are sanitary ceramics?

Sanitary ceramics from firedect are precision-manufactured ceramic components for technical applications in sanitary technology. These include ceramic sealing, control and diverter discs designed for reliable operation and long service life.

What are ceramic sealing, control and diverter discs used for?

Ceramic discs are used in sanitary applications to reliably control water flow, water temperature and sealing. Depending on their design, they perform sealing, control or diverter functions.

What are the technical properties of firedect sanitary ceramics?

firedect sanitary ceramics offer a density of ≥ 3.65 g/cm³, hardness of ≥ 1000 HV and bending strength of ≥ 280 MPa. Precision grinding and polishing also enable defined surface qualities with low roughness and waviness.

Why are grinding and polishing important for ceramic discs?

Surface quality is crucial for the sealing and sliding performance of ceramic discs. Precision grinding and polishing create defined surfaces that support reliable operation and long service life.

What are the advantages of ceramics in sanitary technology?

Ceramics combine high hardness, wear resistance, chemical resistance and temperature resistance. These properties make ceramic components particularly suitable for applications involving frequent operation as well as changing water temperatures and water pressure.
