Industrial Sapphire

Sapphire is single-crystal aluminium oxide containing controlled trace amounts of other elements. As a transparent material, sapphire is suitable for optical applications. SPP Industry established a division for the development and manufacture of advanced materials in 2002, and we manufacture crystalline materials such as artificial sapphire, ruby and ceramics in our own factory. Sapphire crystals up to 430 mm in diameter and weighing over 150 kg have been grown using the heat exchange method, which is the leading method for all gemstone production.

Gemstone crystals have many excellent properties. Sapphire has a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond, high strength, high thermal conductivity, good thermal shock resistance and chemical stability, high surface smoothness and good dielectric properties. These properties are inseparable from its unique crystal structure. In addition, sapphire has a high optical transmittance in the band, and its single crystal has a wide range of light transmission, covering the vacuum ultraviolet, visible, near-infrared to mid-infrared and many other bands. These superior properties make the status and role of sapphire in industrial, military and civil fields increasingly obvious.

Our advanced materials production workshop is equipped with a wide range of CNC machines with diamond grinding wheels of various grits, specialising in the production of difficult-to-cut gemstones, tungsten carbide, technical ceramics, nickel, quartz glass, titanium, Macor, gold, silver, tantalum, molybdenum, tungsten, niobium, PEEK, and other special materials.

Industrial Ruby

Rubies are single-crystal aluminium oxides in which some of the aluminium atoms have been replaced in a controlled manner by chromium atoms. This substitution gives ruby its typical red colour.

As a supplier to several renowned companies and research institutes. Chinese Academy of Physical Sciences, Johns Hopkins APL, Microsoft Quantum Centre, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and many more. With our reliable and proven technology, we are able to offer our customers the best products at competitive prices.
