In sanitary technology and household appliances, a wide variety of media such as gases and liquids must be handled safely. High-performance ceramics from CeramTec offer decisive advantages in processes such as:

Where other materials reach their limits, ceramics impress with their hardness, toughness, and chemical and thermal resistance. We master a broad spectrum of relevant high-performance ceramics for technically demanding ceramic components: Aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃), Silicon carbide (SiC), and Zirconium oxide (ZrO₂).

Why Ceramics? – Less Wear, More Efficiency

Exemplary Products

Precise Control and Perfect Sliding Properties

Seal and Regulator Rings for Sanitary Applications

Ceramic sealing and control discs regulate water volume and temperature in single-lever mixers, mixer taps, and two-handle faucets. Ceramdisc® stands for high hardness, perfect sealing, and an exceptionally long service life.

Single-lever mixers & mixer taps Proven millions of times over: Two Ceramdisc® discs ensure precise control of water volume and temperature.
Two-handle faucets Ceramic seals have largely replaced conventional solutions – for greater comfort and reliability.
Diverter discs for bath & shower Complex ceramic shapes enable defined water flows and finely adjustable temperature gradations – ideal for modern wellness faucets.

Durable and Reliable

Ceramic Valve Discs in Fully Automatic Coffee Machines

Ceramic valve discs support the automatic switching of the individual water paths between steam and hot water and enable smooth flow control with a long service life.

Wear Resistance and Long-Time Sharpness

Ceramic Grinding Discs in Fully Automatic Coffee Machines

While metal burrs generate heat and can affect the coffee taste, ceramic grinders have a high heat capacity, are odorless and tasteless and retain their original sharpness for longer time.

Reliability and High Sealing Performance

Valve and Seal Rings in Dish Washers

Ceramic plain bearings and sealing rings in dishwashers are designed to support the reliable operation of pump systems. Their high resistance to wear, corrosion, and temperature contributes to long-term functionality and an extended service life of the appliances.

An integrated quality and CIP management system ensures that all products meet the highest standards.

FDA, food, and drinking water approvals are available for numerous material grades. We are happy to inform you about these and other available certifications.

Ceramdisc® materials such as Rocar S2, Rubalit® A1896, Rubalit® IS95, Rubalit® DLC, and CD 101 meet international requirements:
