CMC-25™: Redefining Industry Standards
CM Catalyst
Ceramic Balls exemplify exceptional quality. These ceramic balls boast low water absorption, exhibit 100% survival in rapid depressurization tests, showcase high crushing strength, superior impact resistance (drop test), remarkable thermal shock resistance (quench test), and minimal attrition loss.
Today, CM Catalyst
ceramic balls find extensive applications in petroleum refining, petrochemicals, fertilizers plants, acid plants, and industrial gas industries.
Ceramic Balls are having excellent quality
- Low Water absorption
- 100% survival in Rapid Depressurization Test
- Inert towards liquid water
- High Crushing Strength
- Better Impact Resistance (Drop Test)
- Thermal shock resistance (Quench Test)
- Very low Attrition loss
Ceramic Ball with different grade
- Ceramic ball Low purity - Grade QCIPL-25™ (19-26 % Al2O3)
- Ceramic ball Medium purity - Grade QCIPL-50™ (40-45 % Al2O3)
- High Alumina Ball - Grade QCIPL-99™ (99 % Al2O3)
