Ceramics are non-organic non-metalic materials which show excellent resistance to high temperatures, abrasives and chemicals. They have comparatively low densities and are extremely hard. The nature of their structure means that some show poor shock resistance.

A low density, permeable structure of cells and continuous ligaments offering a high surface area to volume ratio, and also a high, strength to weight ratio.

Owing to the nature of this material, dimensions are nominal.
