The functional label does not identify a single grade. **Composition & treatment** Include dopant content, component ratios, phase and surface treatment. BST, KNN, ITO, ATO and AZO are composition families, not one universal fixed formula. **Measurement & process** Relate electrical, dielectric, optical or magnetic targets to sample preparation, frequency, temperature and the intended device process. ## Before you choose **Why not use a single fixed formula for every functional powder?** Doped and mixed systems vary by grade. Keep the recognized material name and abbreviation, then confirm the actual composition and reporting basis for the proposed grade. **What does this directory cover?** Finished piezoelectric components, ferrite cores, targets and conductive pastes are not represented as loose powder products. ## MLCC Dielectric Powders Barium titanate (BTO) base powders and formulated dielectrics for multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) development. Source against your composition, particle and process requirements. [Explore 13 sourcing directions]() ## What to include in your request A material name or reference datasheet is enough to start. Add any requirements you already know. - Exact system, ratio/dopant and crystal phase - Particle profile and surface treatment - Target function and test conditions - Forming/formulation process and documents ### Quantity, samples and documents Nike has no fixed minimum order. Tell us the quantity you need; we’ll check supplier pack sizes and any minimums. We’ll check the proposed grade, sample options, delivery timing and available batch documents.
