CETARCH technical ceramics factory in Brazil — large pump lined with wear-resistant ceramic

In-house manufacturing · Criciúma/SCFROM NANOPARTICLE TO FINISHED PART

01 / Company

Technical and architectural ceramics built for industry's harshest environments

CETARCH designs and manufactures components in hard ceramic, sintered at high temperature, with high resistance to abrasion and chemical attack. Our parts line and protect machines and equipment where wear is constant — reducing downtime, maintenance and total cost of operation.

Based in Criciúma, Santa Catarina (Brazil), we combine materials engineering, precision manufacturing and close technical support to deliver tailor-made solutions, from specification to installation.

02 / Technology Why technical ceramics

Performance where metal fails

Sintered at temperatures above 1,500 °C, our ceramic forms a dense, chemically stable microstructure. The result is a material that withstands what destroys steel: continuous abrasion, corrosion and heat.

Extreme hardness

Near-diamond hardness (9 Mohs), often far above hardened steel, delivering surfaces that virtually never wear.

Abrasion resistance

Withstands continuous flow of slurries, powders and abrasive particles, multiplying component life by up to 10× versus Ni-Hard.

Chemical inertness

Inert to aggressive acids, alkalis and solvents, with no corrosion and no contamination of the processed product.

Thermal stability

Retains mechanical properties at high service temperatures, with no deformation or loss of structural integrity.

Dimensional precision

Parts ground to tight tolerances, ensuring perfect fit and predictable performance in every assembly.

Lower total cost

Fewer stoppages, fewer replacements, less maintenance. Investing in ceramics pays off in uptime and productivity.

Low roughness

A smooth surface that cuts friction and material build-up, improving flow and process efficiency.

Applied engineering

Every solution starts from an analysis of the client's process — geometry, flow and wear — to deliver the ideal part.

Vertically integrated manufacturing

From nanoparticle to sintered part — all in-house

We control the entire production chain: we make our own nanoparticles, design and build the kilns, mixers and mills, and develop the refractories. This full control guarantees purity, repeatability and the freedom to engineer custom formulations.
