## Material selection guide

Start with the material identity and process, then check the details on the proposed datasheet.

**Oxide & crystal phase**

Begin with the chemical formula and required phase. Nominally identical oxides may be supplied in different phases or treatments.

**Particle requirements**

Define primary particle size versus agglomerate distribution, BET and the measurement conditions relevant to your process.

**Acceptance criteria**

Specify critical impurities, moisture and the evidence needed before sample or supply evaluation.

## Before you choose

**Is a higher nominal purity always a better ceramic feedstock?**

Purity is one selection dimension. Phase, agglomeration, surface area and processing behavior may be equally important. Compare the parameters needed for the intended forming or formulation route.

**What does this directory cover?**

Dedicated high-purity, rare-earth, stabilized-zirconia and mixed-oxide systems are kept in their own directories.

## What to include in your request

A material name or reference datasheet is enough to start. Add any requirements you already know.

- Oxide formula and required crystal phase
- Particle distribution, BET and morphology
- Purity basis and critical impurity limits
- Forming/dispersion route and batch 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. Include any essential COA, TDS or SDS requirements.
