Seraplate

A dense ceramic material with very high endurance against direct kinetic and thermal stresses, it is a nano-manipulated material enhancing natural ceramic's characteristics toward the various industrial and military needs. Its primary use is that of a principle ablative on a large number of military and civil applications. However it is a very brittle material with only a moderate tensile strength meaning it will break once it reaches the end of its endurance rather then slowly deforming, however when applied in a composite manner this can allow numerous layers flacking off rather than the total failure of the plate. This can be countered by either compositing the material or using a casing of more flexible but less dense metals or polymers.

Aside from armor, Seraplate is also used in an insulating role in high temperature applications due to its high thermal insulative properties. It can also be used as a coating to reduce mechanical wear on softer materials and metals. It is widely manufactured throughout the Sundala Starzone in both small and industrial scale amounts.
