Profile: American Beryllia Inc. is a manufacturer and distributor of beryllium oxide (BeO) products. The BeO is a space-age technical ceramic material that offers a combination of desirable properties that can not be found in any other material. Beryllia ceramic is distinguished by its excellent high heat and thermal conductivity; it retains dielectric constant, loss factor and dielectric strength in the range of most electrical insulators. Along with good mechanical strength and stiffness to weight ratios, this unique combination of properties provides designers with a material that can reduce the size of heat generating circuitry while retaining essential high power capability and improved thermal stability.
