All About Shapal is a new global business initiative by Precision Ceramics, the Tokuyama Corporation's principal, longest serving and highly-respected European distributor of Shapal-M Machinable Aluminium Nitride.

By using this new website, both potential and existing users will have quicker and more efficient access to technical information about Shapal - applications, characteristics, physical properties and thermal conductivity - as well as being able to contact Precision Ceramics online to discuss the best way forward for specific projects. Component and manufacturing photograph and media galleries are also included as well as a corporate literature download area.

Shapal-M is a new type of machinable ceramic and combines a high thermal conductivity with a high mechanical strength with bending strengths of 30 kg/m. In particular, it has an excellent sealing ability to vacuum. It also has good heat resistance and an extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion.

Shapal-M maintains a low dielectric loss and also has an ultra high purity level.

Typical applications: Electronic components, especially where electrical insulation and heat dissipation are required. Also components where low dielectric constant and dissipation factor are required; fixturing parts where a low coefficient of thermal expansion is required.
