Aluminum Oxynitride (AlON) is redefining what transparent ceramic materials can achieve. Engineered by CERAMERIC for optical clarity, structural strength, and environmental durability, AlON delivers unmatched performance where conventional glass, spinel, and oxide ceramics fall short.
Whether you are designing transparent armor, high-speed aerodynamic windows, IR systems, or durable optical housings, CERAMERIC AlON is built for mission-critical demands.
Strength + Clarity + Stability**
CERAMERIC’s AlON combines the best of both optical and structural ceramics:
Wide spectral transmittance: 0.2–6.0 μm (UV → Mid-IR)
Exceptional hardness and strength for ballistic and impact resistance
High thermal-shock tolerance for rapid temperature gradients
Full chemical and weathering stability
Low density, enabling lightweight protective designs
AlON is the material of choice when the system requires optical performance under extreme mechanical or thermal loads.
