Ceramic is derived from Greek Keramos that means earthenware or baked thing. Above definition contains not only materials like. Earthenware,chinaware,refractories,constructional clay products such as: brick and etc, grinder materials, china  enamels, cement and glass, but also including non-metallic magnetic materials, ferroelectrics, artificial unicrystale, glass- ceramics and other various products that some of them have evolved in present decade.

Ceramics products can be divided into two main groups:

Ø     1-   Traditional ceramics

Ø     2-  Modern ceramics

Ø 3- C.C.M ASIA Information about modern ceramic industry

1-Traditional ceramics  

    That basically are formative materials of silicate industries, those are clay products, cement silicate glasses and chinaware. In the last decades, tile and glasses products from the greatest part of ceramics industry and their all raw materials are from the kind of sodium, calcium and silicate that kaolin and some of the refractories have important effect on structure formation of this kind of ceramics. Essentially, constructional clay products are unique group that mainly are made of bricks (industrial and non-industrial) and tiles that regarding to tile industries growth in Iran and particularly in Alborz Industrial region in Qazvin and areas of Iran; we must ere ate an industrial revolution in the field of production and tile industry growth in these areas. Another group that have enjoyed special significance, one refractories group, and the products which is made of fire proof dust, from refractories industry about 40 percent and non–clay heavy refractories such as: magnesia, chromic and compounds like those include other 40 percent of his industry.

2-Modern ceramics     

     In 1980-90’s, many modern ceramics materials have created. Those materials have specially considered because of own unique properties. These materials have come in to existence for the reason of high heat resistance, desirable mechanical properties, special electrical properties and particularly chemical resistance and very high corrosion, and anticipation of its 300-percent growth to 2010 indicates further realities.

   C.C.M ASIA Company offers some of attained achievement during recent years in modern ceramic industry in order to  obtain further information of its customers.

_Pure oxide ceramics: that are applied to the same construction and desirable properties as electrical ingredients and refractories.

_ Electro-optic ceramics (Electro-photic): such as: lithium niobit (LiNbo₃) and Titan at, reformed lead zirconat by lanthanum (PLZT) prepare a space by which electric signs change into photic signs.

_ Magnetic ceramics: with different compounds, that these materials form magnetic memory pieces base in main computers, that is very suitable particularly in electronically uses and with microwaves and high frequency.

_ Nitride ceramics: have used for some of special uses and particularly in world military industries.

_Ceramic enamels: which is produced as desirable covers of Aluminum metal and have become main part of world architectural industry.

_Compound materials: composites produced in the shape of metallic and ceramic and now have developed in modern industries of European Union and US.

_Ceramic carbides: These ceramics are produced with unique properties such as calcium carbide and boron carbide that enjoyed special significance in world metallurgy industry as grinder materials.

_Ceramic Borides: will be contained unique properties from the viewpoint of stability and oxidized resistance in high temperatures that have many uses in world steel production industries.

_Ferro electrical ceramics: have created like barium titan ate that have very high electric stability and have many uses as electronic ingredients and particularly in making condenser.

_Non-silicate glasses: for the reason of creating unique structure in this kind of ceramics to transfer infra-red rays, photic special properties and semi-conductor devices enjoy high significance in metallurgy industry.

_Glass-ceramics: there are a complete and modern family in ceramic industry that at first have been formed in a state of glassy and then come into existence in the shape of a full-crystal body through germination and grains growth in its metallurgical structure, ceramic fibers created from this way have very high stability and have produced in the shape of poly-crystal that sic heat elements have used for a long time. But in recent years, elements have produced from the kind of silicones like mosi₂ that can use from 1800⁰C to 2025⁰C.

_In reactors technology makes use of ceramic material in the shape of nuclear fuel particles such as: tho2, UC2, UC, UO2.

_Special materials: which use in different part of gas turbines and in the last few years experiments showed that sic and Si₃N₄ are the best materials to make different pieces like: turbine blades which contain very high heat pressure stability and never decrease their stability in high temperatures after long-term uses.

Special attention : just now, research and probe unit of C.C.M ASIA company together with several university research and probe unit of C.C.M ASIA company together with several university research teams are engagdin studying an special uses of Si₃N₄ mixtures and Oxides such as: Al₂o₃, Zro₂ that special mixtures have better properties than Si₃N₄. High stability and much resistance toward creep and to become sinter ability and grow hot press are from desirable properties of researched materials. 

Also, the structure can be compressed by increasing the pressure until 99percent, which causes porosity to destroy and increases the stability in conceivably. This research project is ready to present in universities and international valid seminars in Nov 2006.

C.C.M ASIA Company welcomes development its international operations with European and us. Main companies to provide required raw materials of the region^’s tile industries. Besides, it is ready to supply reciprocally tile products and other produced ceramics with the world high quality in European union and us market. Our honor is making stronger communication between ceramic producers of Iran^’s north and central areas and international main companies.
