ʻO nā mea seramika e pili ana i nā mea metala ʻole ʻole i hana ʻia me nā pūhui kūlohelohe a i ʻole synthetic ma o ka hana ʻana a me ka sintering. Loaʻa iā ia nā pōmaikaʻi o ka helu hoʻoheheʻe kiʻekiʻe, ka paʻakikī kiʻekiʻe, ke kūpaʻa ʻaʻahu kiʻekiʻe a me ke kūpaʻa oxidation. Hoʻohana nui ʻia ʻo Ceramic mechanical seal i nā mīkini, ʻoihana kemika, petroleum, lāʻau lapaʻau, kaʻa a me nā māla ʻē aʻe.
Loaʻa i nā sila mīkini nā koi kiʻekiʻe e pili ana i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā mea, no laila ua lawe ʻia ka ceramic e hana i ka seal mechanical ceramic no kāna mau hiʻohiʻona hoʻokūkū.
