SHARE

Ceramic shear valves are engineered to withstand demanding conditions, especially in applications using abrasive or reactive fluids. Unlike polymer or solenoid valves, which can degrade quickly when exposed to harsh fluids, ceramic shear valves offer much more durability and reliability. For systems requiring both precision and resilience, these valves become essential as many find that they are the ideal choice for integration with plastic fluidics manifolds.

Outstanding Wear Resistance

Ceramic shear valves are crafted from high-grade ceramic materials, renowned for their hardness and durability. This wear resistance grants these valves as ideal for their ability to handle abrasive fluids that would otherwise quickly erode or damage other materials. Industries such as chemical processing and diagnostics benefit from the extended lifespan of these valves, reducing the need for frequent replacements and lowering maintenance costs.

Superior Chemical Compatibility

Ceramic shear valves offer excellent chemical resistance, enabling them to handle a wide range of aggressive fluids, including acids, bases, solvents, and slurries. This crucial compatibility separates these valves from others for applications that need fluids to remain pure and long-term valve performance. Whether in pharmaceuticals, industrial processes, or environmental testing, shear valves maintain reliable performance without compromising fluid integrity.

Smooth, Consistent Flow Control

Designed to offer precise flow control, ceramic shear valves deliver consistent operation, even in systems requiring highly controlled fluid dispensing. The tight ceramic clearance within the valve enables smooth and accurate fluid transfer. This supports the high-precision needs of applications like sample preparation and micro-dosing in laboratory settings.

Integration with Plastic Manifold Systems

These shear valves offer a compact and compatible solution for complex fluidic circuits. Where plastic manifolds provide a lightweight, flexible base for fluid routing, shear valves add durability and resilience to the system. This integration is particularly useful in compact or benchtop instruments and high-throughput automated workstations.
