Semiconducting Materials

(234 companies)
Semiconductors (metalloids) or semiconductor materials are used to fabricate microelectronic and optoelectronic devices such as transistors, photodetectors or solar cells.

Glass Materials

(345 companies)
Glass materials have a random, liquid-like (non-crystalline) molecular structure. They are excellent thermal insulators and electrical insulators, and have high dielectric strength. At ordinary temperatures, glass materials are relatively strong, inert, biologically inactive, and corrosion resistant.

Friction Materials

(155 companies)
Friction materials include brake pads, friction liners, clutch plates, friction bands, brake pads, brake shoes, friction rolls, bonded assemblies and other components used to generate controlled friction for braking or power transfer while minimizing wear.
Expanded sheet materials are designed with patterns of diamond-shaped openings and are produced by slitting and stretching the sheet materials.
Industrial carts and industrial trucks are used to transport equipment or materials within the premises of a facility. They are frequently manually propelled, but motorized version are manufactured. An assortment of carts and trucks are available for a multitude of cargo operations.

Label Materials

(379 companies)
Label materials are blank or pre-printed film, paper or other backing used for the creation of print and labeling products.
Electrodes and electrode materials are metals and other substances used as the makeup of electrical components. They are used to make contact with a nonmetallic part of a circuit, and are the materials in a system through which an electrical current is transferred.
Electrical insulation and dielectric materials includes various forms of materials that surround and protect electrical conductors and prevent unwanted current flow, leakage or crosstalk.
Material testing services test, analyze, and certify a wide range of materials for purity, chemical compatibility, and environmental impact.
Perforated sheet materials are used as screens in separators, walkways, sunscreens, ventilation, and decorative coverings. They are constructed by machining or punching holes in a piece of sheet metal or plastic.
Bulk materials loaders and unloaders are used to fill and remove powders, granular substances and other bulk solids from bags, bins, boxes, carts, drums, hoppers, railcars, trucks, and silos. They often include solids feeders and break down clumps or arches to allow for the more uniform distribution of bulk materials.
Soundproofing and acoustic materials are used to attenuate, deaden, or control sound and noise levels from machinery and other sources for environmental amelioration and regulatory compliance.
Material handling and pneumatic conveying blowers move air through an enclosed system to transport materials. They generate tremendous air flow in a tube (often by a vacuum) to pull granular materials, papers, powders, or pellets from one location to another.
Thermal compounds and thermal interface materials form a thermally conductive layer on a substrate, between components or within a finished product.

Thick Film Materials

(23 companies)
Thick film materials are metal conductor pastes or dielectric ceramic pastes. They are screen printed and fired to produce circuits, resistors, capacitors, and interconnects for electronic devices on ceramic substrates.
