Ultra High-Temperature Ceramic Provides Piezoelectric Stability in Extreme Environments

Ultra high-temperature piezoelectric ceramic provides piezoelectric stability in extreme environments. Piezo Technologies' new K-12 Ultra High-Temp Piezoelectric Ceramic is the most advanced material available for high-temperature applications. After more than two years of R&D, this new modified bismuth titanate material is set to advance the state of sensors, accelerometers, transducers, and more.

Specifically designed for stable piezoelectric activity in extreme high temperature applications; 1100° F (593°C) continuous use or 1400°F (760°C) intermittent use.
Unmatched high Curie temperature of greater than 820°C
Extremely stable piezoelectric activity at very high temperatures
Markets include under-hood automotive, down-hole data logging in the oil field, geothermal applications, near-engine aerospace electronics, defense and industrial instrumentation, etc.
