Shenyang StarLight Showcases SiC Excellence at 2025 Ceramics Expo, Secures International Partnership

Shenyang StarLight Advanced Ceramics Co., Ltd., a global leader in silicon carbide solutions, concluded a highly successful participation in the 39th China International Ceramics Industry Exhibition (Ceramics Expo 2025), held from June 18 to 21 at the Canton Fair Complex. The event, which drew over 800 exhibitors and 100,000 visitors from 80+ countries, served as a platform for StarLight to reinforce its industry leadership and forge new international collaborations .

Decades of Expertise on Display

Occupying Booth A509 in Hall 1.1, StarLight showcased its flagship silicon carbide products tailored for high-tech industries, including:

Ultra-Precision silicon carbide Boards: Semiconductor-grade components with 4N+ purity and micron-level dimensional accuracy (±0.01mm), designed for extreme thermal stability up to 1,650°C .

Advanced Kiln Furniture Systems: Featuring the StarnyTM (nitride-bonded silicon carbide ) and StarsyTM (reaction-sintered silicon carbide ) series, optimized for lithium battery sintering and photovoltaic applications .

Sustainable Solutions: Recyclable silicon carbide materials supporting circular economy initiatives in ceramic production, aligning with the expo's green technology focus .

Visitors engaged with StarLight's technical team about its vertically integrated capabilities – from raw material refinement to AI-driven processes like isostatic pressing and 3D printing .

Global Recognition, Strategic Alliances

The company's exhibition success translated into tangible business opportunities:

New Market Penetration: A delegation from Bangladesh toured StarLight's Shenyang facility post-expo, initiating talks about supplying silicon carbide kiln components for South Asia's expanding ceramic tile industry .

Technology Validation: European semiconductor manufacturers expressed interest in StarLight's patented large-diameter silicon carbide crucibles for silicon crystal growth applications.

Academic Partnerships: Three universities proposed joint R&D projects on silicon carbide-based hydrogen fuel cell components, building on StarLight's existing collaborations .

“Our 30+ years of silicon carbide specialization resonated powerfully with global attendees,” said StarLight's Exhibition Director. “The expo confirmed our position as both a reliable supplier to traditional ceramics and an innovator for emerging tech sectors.”

Accelerating International Growth

StarLight's participation continues a strategic expansion pattern following recent successes at Germany's Ceramitec 2024, where it established footholds in European semiconductor and water treatment markets . The company reports a 40% YoY increase in international inquiries since Q1 2025, attributed to its:

Customized Engineering: Ability to tailor porosity (15-45%) and flexural strength (25-350MPa) across product lines

Certification Edge: Compliance with ISO 9001, IATF 16949, and semiconductor industry-specific standards

Global Logistics: Six overseas warehouses supporting just-in-time delivery in 20+ countries

Industry Impact & Future Vision

Analysts highlighted StarLight's role in China's US$7.8 billion advanced ceramics market, particularly its breakthroughs in:

Energy Efficiency: silicon carbide components reducing kiln energy consumption by 18-22% in pilot projects with domestic sanitaryware producers

Digital Integration: IoT-enabled kiln furniture systems demonstrated at the expo, capable of real-time thermal stress monitoring

The company plans to allocate 12% of 2026 revenues to develop graphene-enhanced silicon carbide composites, targeting aerospace applications.

Looking Ahead

With follow-up meetings scheduled across three continents, StarLight anticipates finalizing five new international contracts by Q3 2025. As stated by their CEO: “This expo wasn't just about displaying products – it was about co-creating the future of advanced materials. Our collaboration with Bangladesh partners exemplifies how StarLight's silicon carbide innovations can drive industrial transformation worldwide.”
