Our polycrystalline alumina products deliver sapphire-like properties at a lower cost and meet precise industrial specifications. CoorsTek consistently innovates to deliver the highest quality ceramic solutions.
High Intensity Discharge Lamp Components
CoorsTek engineered ceramics provide superior thermal stability, and translucency for high-performance HID lighting applications. Each year CoorsTek delivers tens of millions of translucent ceramic parts of various sizes, shapes, and geometries for high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps.
arc tubes
CoorsTek has deep expertise in developing and producing high-volume translucent ceramics. Our polycrystalline alumina products combine high-translucency with the thermal stability needed for the brightest and most demanding lighting.
reflectors
Using specially formulated ceramics matched with advanced forming and finishing, CoorsTek produces durable components for ultra-high intensity lighting — like those used for the 9/11 memorial in New York City.
sockets
Ceramic lighting sockets combine the benefits of high operating temperatures and robust electrical insulation for powering high intensity discharge lamps from large venue commercial lighting to household use.
thermal management
Optimize the thermal design, color consistency, and efficiency of your HID lighting using engineered CoorsTek ceramic components, for durable high-temperature performance and active and passive cooling devices - including heat sinks, thermal tiles, and heat exchangers.
LED Components
CoorsTek ceramics provide superior thermal performance in wafers and substrates for high-brightness LED manufacturing. CoorsTek is the leader in ceramic substrates for thin-film and thick-film electronics, providing over a dozen substrate types optimized for a variety of processes and applications. Applying our deep expertise in advanced technical ceramics, CoorsTek engineers ceramic materials and substrate processing specifically to the rigorous demands of today’s thin-film and thick-film technology.
thick-film ceramic substrates
CoorsTek developed the standards for thick-film ceramic substrates and continues to provide economical yet durable substrates for hybrid integrated circuits, surface mount devices, sensors, and other thick-film electronics. We help you design a thick-film ceramic substrate tailored to your application. Learn More >>
thin-film ceramic substrates
CoorsTek is the leader in custom and standard thin-film ceramic substrates. Four thin-film substrate material options combine smooth surface finish, strong flexural strength, and consistent electrical properties.

Flat Panel Display
CoorsTek specializes in supplying high-performance ceramic components critical for Flat Panel Display (FPD) manufacturing. We offer a variety of specialized, high-purity engineered ceramics that provide superior dielectric strength, effectively preventing electrical arcing during machine operation. Our StatSafe™ ESD safe ceramic materials ensure static charge buildup is minimized during glass transport, enhancing operational safety.
CoorsTek ceramics also boast longer component life compared to engineering plastics in plasma etch applications, thanks to their exceptional thermal stability across various temperatures. Specifically engineered PlasmaPure™ high-purity alumina offers excellent corrosion resistance in plasma and chemical etching environments, surpassing standard ceramic materials in durability and performance.
Polycrystalline Tubes and Rods
CoorsTek manufactures polycrystalline tubes and rods from 99.9% alumina, sintered at approximately 1850°C under reducing conditions. Their high-purity translucent alumina offers properties similar to sapphire but at a significantly lower cost. Benefits include translucency and non-porosity, meeting specifications of 100% sapphire tubes and rods at a fraction of the expense. Learn More >>
