Product Description
Product Introduction
Barium Titanate (BaTiO₃) is a high-performance ceramic material widely used as a functional additive in the manufacturing of metal oxide varistors (MOVs). Known for its excellent dielectric properties, high insulation resistance, and stable perovskite crystal structure, BaTiO₃ significantly contributes to improving the electrical performance and reliability of varistor components.
In ZnO-based varistor systems, BaTiO₃ is typically added to control the microstructure, enhance grain boundary behavior, and improve the non-linear voltage-current characteristics. It helps in achieving higher energy absorption capacity, lower leakage current, and faster response to voltage surges. The uniform particle size and high purity of BaTiO₃ ensure consistency during sintering and reliable long-term performance in surge protection applications.
Our Barium Titanate is available in various particle sizes and purity levels to meet the specific processing requirements of varistor manufacturers. It is suitable for applications in consumer electronics, telecommunications, automotive electronics, and industrial equipment where overvoltage protection is critical.
