Beryllium oxide

Beryllium oxide (CAS 1304-56-9), also known as beryllia, is a high-performance ceramic material sourced for applications where exceptional thermal conductivity must be combined with electrical insulation.

Where is Beryllium oxide used?

• Electronics: beryllia substrates and packages for high-power transistors and microwave devices
• RF amplifiers: heat dissipation critical to component reliability
• Aerospace and defense: radar systems and missile guidance components
• Satellite electronics: dimensional stability under extreme thermal cycling
• Nuclear applications: neutron moderator and reflector material in reactor design
• Specialty laser and optical systems: thermal management directly affects output consistency
• Thermalox is a recognized commercial grade used in precision industrial and defense components.

Commercial specifications

• Standard grades include 99.0% and 99.5% purity powder
• High-purity powder, sintered ceramic shapes, and machined components to meet specific engineering tolerances
• Industrial buyers typically source to internal or customer-defined specifications
