About Ecertec

• Ecertec can develop new materials to your specifications or alternatively tailor your existing materials or production processes. Ecertec has small scale manufacturing capabilities that are mainly used for supply of niche low volume ceramics and our range of ultra-active powders.
• Medium and large scale manufacturing may be carried out by a chosen supplier under license from Ecertec.
• Process development and manufacturing consultancy services are also provided by a team of dedicated consultants with many years experience working in research and technology management for both large organisations and small - medium sized enterprises.

Development & Prototyping

Ecertec can design, develop and prototype a wide range of ferroelectric materials including: capacitor dielectrics, piezoelectrics, electrostrictives,
electro-optics & pyro-electrics.

Because Ecertec technologies span initial material design to final device integration you can be sure that all our materials are designed with manufacture-ability and product accordance in mind.

Get Involved in Success.....

Ecertec develops, prototypes and supplies a wide range of high quality electro-ceramics and powders.

Piezoelectrics - Electrostrictives - Ferroelectrics

Ecertec materials are developed in our technology centre within the University of Leeds, UK. In addition to our own facilities we also have access to an unrivaled array of processing, characterisation and prototyping facilities. This ensures that materials are developed efficiently, scientifically and on budget.

Ecertec has its roots in the long-established Department of Ceramics latterly the Department of Materials at Leeds. With a wealth of academic and commercial experience we have a proven track record in the successful development of electro-ceramic powders, ceramics and devices.

Our materials are unrivaled for purity, density and mechanical strength making them ideal for today's high stress actuator applications. With the backup of excellent fabrication, characterisation and analysis facilities our materials are developed scientifically rather than empirically.

These materials are also remarkably cost effective often allowing reduced processing temperatures or significantly enhanced product reliability.
