The term of ceramics describes inorganic and nonmetallic basic materials. Generally they are formed from raw materials at room temperature and derive their typical characteristics through a sintering process at high temperatures. Often, these ceramic materials are called high-performance ceramics whose composition is different from a clay mineral. They are characterized by their special properties such as a high temperature resistance, high mechanical and chemical stability or low electric conductivity. Gomez cellulose ethers are primarily used for the chemical engineering of high-performance ceramics as process auxiliary. Depending on the application, special MAISI grades are used.
