The technical prowess to create ‘Valuable Products’

The DKK Group contributes to a sustainable society through the supply of ‘Valuable Products.’ The “value” of ‘Valuable Products’ is not limited to their functionality. DKK’s zirconia-based ceramic materials have a variety of functional values, such as resistance to hydrothermal degradation, high toughness, aesthetics, and antimicrobial functions. However, they also have environmental value, as they can be sintered at low temperatures, leading to energy savings and reduced CO₂ emissions for customers, and social value, as they do not contain rare earth elements, whose production is limited to a few countries, making them a true wonder material.

Receipt of The Ceramic Society of Japan’s award for industrial ceramic technology

DKK received The Ceramic Society of Japan’s award for achievements in industrial ceramic technology in FY2023 for its development of the DURAZR®-S Series of zirconia ceramics. These awards are presented in recognition of contributions to the progress and growth of the ceramics industry, science, and technology, and of an exceptional record in academic research and technology. DKK was acknowledged for developing a product that maintains the same strength as conventional zirconia ceramics while increasing the value of ceramics.
