|
Tin oxide for ceramic pigments and glazes

|
|
Tin oxide is a versatile material for ceramics. Its thermal stability and chemically
inert nature enables the production of a wide palette of durable ceramic colours.
In ceramic applications the physical characteristics and chemical purity of the tin
oxide are of major importance. We have developed a comprehensive range of high performance
tin oxides to meet the demanding requirements of the ceramic industry. |
|
Tin oxides from Thermox Performance Materials Ltd
| |
This range of high performance tin oxide materials offers products which span a wide range of
particle size and surface area, suitable for many applications including high quality ceramic
pigments, automotive friction materials, grades for glass refining and bubble reduction, and
materials suitable for the manufacture of tin oxide glass melting electrodes. |
|
|
|
The CS Range of tin oxide electrical contact materials
|
|
A carefully controlled range of tin oxide grades for use in silver / tin oxide electrical contact materials,
produced to exacting standards to provide the optimum particle size for the utmost performance and durability in this demanding application. |
|
|
Hydrated tin oxide materials |
Metastannic Acid
| |
Metastannic acid is a hydrated tin oxide, which exhibits an extremely high specific surface area and nano-particulate
primary particle size. This material finds application as a specialised grade for the production of ceramic pigments and for catalysis.
|
Alphastannic Acid
| |
Alphastannic acid is another hydrated tin oxide, with a more granular structure than the metastannic
acid grade. It has been developed for use in catalysis but also
finds use as an ion-exchange medium in the separation of radionuclides. |
|
|
Other nano-particulate materials |
Tin Oxide Nano-Particulate Powders
| |
Keeling and Walker can supply tin oxide with ultra-fine particle size in the nanometre range. Nano-particulate materials provide enhanced functionality,
which makes them particularly suitable for an increasing number of novel applications, including specialised ceramic pigments and catalysis.
|
Tin oxide nano-particle dispersions
| |
A number of aqueous based colloidal dispersions have been developed which contain nanometre size hydrated
tin oxide or antimony doped tin oxide particles. These products have been developed for use in applications where
ultra-fine tin oxide is required, for example to prepare transparent conductive coatings, for use in catalysis
and as a source of highly reactive tin oxide with high surface area. |
|
|
High surface area tin oxide
| |
Tin oxide doped with small additions of certain elements provides a range of tin oxide based materials with high specific surface area and small particle size.
These products exhibit excellent temperature stability and find application in catalysis or gas sensor technology. |
|
High purity tin oxide (99.99%)
| |
Our high purity tin oxide grade is carefully produced from 99.999% purity tin metal in order
to provide a tin oxide of better than 99.99% purity. This material is used for sputtering
targets, and any application which requires an ultra-high purity tin oxide. |
|
Other materials
| |
Keeling & Walker Limited is expert in producing solutions to specific customer requirements.
If we do not have a suitable grade for the customer application we will endeavour to develop a bespoke material tailored to
the customer’s specification. |
