Technology overview

BOOSTEC® SILICON CARBIDE -SiC- FOR SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTATION AND INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT

Boostec® is a Mersen Group unit specializing in the development of innovative products in sintered silicon carbide.

For some applications, the silicon carbide can receive a CVD (chemical vapor deposition) coating to give a completely non-porous high-purity SiC surface.

A BROAD SPECTRUM OF APPLICATIONS:

• optical and scientific instrumentation (space or ground optics, stable structures, large scientific
   instruments, etc.)
• chemical and pharma-chemical apparatus (continuous-flow reactors, heat exchangers, etc.)
• mechanical applications (mechanical linings, bearings, stops, etc.)
• mirrors for industrial laser systems
• equipment for the semiconductor industry

Boostec® is also involved in several cooperative projects, such as Sicsol, an innovative alternative energy project on concentrated solar power.
