Composites, Precision Ceramics, Thermal Hardware.
Expanding the domestic supply of critical materials used in hypersonic systems.
Unparalleled Capability
CermeTech LLC is managed by a comprehensive team of experienced professionals with an established pilot-scale polycarbosilane (PCS) production capability that can be readily scaled to support increasing demand.
CermeTech specializes in process development and product management and operates under a partner manufacturing agreement with Current Chemicals, an ISO 9001:2015-certified specialty materials and chemical manufacturer located in Cleveland, Ohio.
While other SiC pre-ceramic polymers exist, polycarbosilane (PCS) produces a near stoichiometric 1:1 silicon-to-carbon chemistry, which results in a superior thermomechanical and oxidation resistance capability to maintain integrity in extreme environments.
Polycarbosilane-derived SiC is proving ideal for next gen electronic and specialty thermal components, where high thermal conductivity, electrical insulation, CTE compatibility, and extreme temperature stability are required.
250,000 ft² processing footprint with 25,000 ft² Class 1 Div 1&2 capability.
Established plant infrastructure and experienced workforce, with fully implemented EHS and in-house waste handling and treatment system, enabling scalable volume ramp.
