Cordierite is a magnesium aluminum silicate material that has been widely used in applications where thermal shock resistance is important.  It can be formed into a variety of complex geometries by employing several types of manufacturing process such as -axial pressing, isostatic pressing, injection molding and extrusion.

Overview of Physical Properties

• Good thermal shock resistance
• Low thermal expansion
• Low thermal conductivity
• High dielectric strength

Overview of Applications

• Appliances (insulators)
• Heating element supports
• Refractory supports in ovens or kilns
• Thermocouples
