Sonal sales corporation offers ceramic infrared heating elements. They are intended to serve as better alternatives to metal sheathed heating elements. Metals and ceramics have distinctive properties due to difference in the nature of electronic bonding in the materials. Metals are held together by mutually shared free-electron bonding. The chemical bonding in ceramics generally consist of a combination of ionic and convolute bond. It is the strength of this bond which provides for a high melting point, solidity, corrosion resistance, low thermal conductivity high compressive strength. These ceramic infrared heating elements are available in various sizes and ratings ex-stock.
