What Is Ceramic Disc Technology

Ceramic disc faucets are much tougher better able to deal with extreme temperatures and can go for years without needing repairs or replacing.

What is ceramic disc technology.

How does ceramic disc technology work. When both discs are in alignment the water is allowed to flow through the tap. Disadvantages everything has it s downside and there are cons to ceramic disc taps. Some elements such as carbon or silicon may be considered ceramics ceramic materials are brittle hard strong in compression and weak in shearing and tension.

With a ceramic disc tap or shower all that is needed to turn a tap off is a quarter turn and the water flow will stop straight away. A ceramic material is an inorganic non metallic often crystalline oxide nitride or carbide material. Each time you use one of our faucets two discs control water flow by gliding back and forth in an airtight seal that prevents leaking and ensures a super smooth operation. The more use a tap gets the more attractive the use of ceramic disc technology becomes.

One disc is fixed in place whilst the other moves with the tap handle. When they are no longer aligned the water stops. This is doubly true in hard water areas which can be murder on traditional taps. You can tell a ceramic disc faucet at a glance.

On top of that ceramic discs do not wear out like conventional rubber washers and will just keep on going. Ceramic disc cartridges are simply two ceramic discs with holes through them. They withstand chemical erosion that occurs in other materials subjected to acidic or caustic environments. Ceramic disc technology is the answer to these problems.
