Composite ceramic powder has wide application fields and good industry development prospects

Composite ceramic powder, also known as ceramic composite powder, refers to ceramic fire-proof functional powder obtained by compounding aluminum hydroxide, zirconia, wollastonite, flame retardants, low-melting point glass powder and other materials. According to different product characteristics, composite ceramic powder can be divided into high-temperature ceramic powder, medium-temperature ceramic powder, low-temperature ceramic powder, etc.; according to different materials, composite ceramic powder can be divided into composite oxide ceramic powder, composite carbon fiber ceramic powder, composite silicon carbide Ceramic powder, etc.

The production process of composite ceramic powder is relatively diverse, including co-precipitation method, hydrothermal method, sintering method, high-energy mechanical ball milling method, solid-phase reaction method, self-propagating high-temperature synthesis method, etc. Among them, co-precipitation method and hydrothermal method are the main technologies for the domestic industrial preparation of composite ceramic powder.

According to the “China Composite Ceramic Powder Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that composite ceramic powder is an environmentally friendly flame-retardant composite material with the characteristics of non-toxic, harmless, halogen-free, low smoke, strong thermal insulation performance, short porcelain formation time, and high insulation. It can be used as a fireproof material. And liquid colloid materials are used in electronics, wires and cables, chemical industry, construction, machinery, rail transit, automobiles, nuclear energy, aerospace and other fields.

Specifically, in the field of wires and cables, composite ceramic powder is a key material for the preparation of fireproof and fire-resistant wires and cables, fireproof and explosion-proof blankets for medium and high-voltage cable joints; in the field of nuclear energy, it is mainly used in the manufacturing of fireproof sealing plates; in the construction field , which is a raw material for preparing fireproof sealing materials for construction; in the automotive field, it is widely used in the field of fireproof and thermal insulation materials for new energy vehicle battery protection.

Currently, driven by the rapid development of the domestic composite ceramic powder application field, its market size continues to expand. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, domestic new energy vehicle production has reached 7.058 million units in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 96.9%; the total output value of the domestic construction industry has reached 31.2 trillion yuan in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 6.5%. As a result, my country’s composite ceramic powder market size will be close to 4 billion yuan in 2022.

At present, domestic composite ceramic powder companies mainly include Zhongyi High-tech Technology, Haiyang Powder Technology, Grindstone Mineral Fiber Technology, Yingrui Excellent Material Technology, Yishitong Polymer, Kete New Materials, etc. There are many companies, but many They are small and medium-sized enterprises with low technical level and weak R&D strength, and the industry concentration is low.

Industry analysts said that composite ceramic powder is a new type of environmentally friendly flame-retardant composite material with excellent comprehensive performance and wide application fields. . Currently, as the advantages of composite ceramic powders continue to highlight and their application fields continue to develop, their market size continues to expand, and the industry shows good development prospects. However, the current technical level of local composite ceramic powder companies is still relatively low, and there is a large gap between them and leading foreign companies. In the future, local companies will need to speed up their technical level improvement, and there is huge room for industry growth.
