Impact Resistance

Designed to Withstand Sudden Impact and Shock

Impact resistance is a key factor in determining the durability of a material, especially in high-use environments where accidental impacts are common. CeramicSteel’s superior ability to withstand sudden forces ensures its longevity and reliability in various applications.

Test Overview

The impact resistance of CeramicSteel was evaluated using ISO 4532 standards.

In this test:

  • A 5 mm steel ball was dropped onto the surface with a force of 75 Newton.
  • The material was then observed for 24 hours to assess any resulting damage.
  • The criteria for success required that surface chipping did not exceed 2 mm in diameter.

Test Results

CeramicSteel passed the impact resistance test, demonstrating minimal chipping well within the acceptable limit. The surface remained largely intact, confirming its ability to effectively absorb and disperse impact forces.

Why Impact Resistance Matters

Materials used in busy environments must be capable of handling sudden shocks without breaking or degrading. CeramicSteel’s impressive impact resistance minimizes the risk of visible damage, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring long-term performance.

Applications

    • High-Traffic Areas: Ensures durability in spaces prone to accidental impacts, such as public buildings and transit stations.
    • Commercial Interiors: Ideal for office spaces, schools, and healthcare facilities where unintentional knocks and strikes occur.
    • Industrial Use: Provides a robust surface for environments requiring enhanced durability and reliability.
