High-Performance Alumina Ceramic Spark Plug Insulator

The spark plug insulator (white ceramic body) reliably insulates tens of kV from the ignition coil to the center electrode under extreme combustion conditions: >800–1000°C, thermal shock, high voltage, and chemical corrosion.

Made from high-purity alumina ceramic using optimized formulation, isostatic pressing, high-temperature sintering, and precision finishing — delivering excellent insulation, heat dissipation, and long-term durability for modern high-performance engines.

Core Advantages

  • Outstanding high-temp insulation & no flashover
  • Superior heat removal → lower pre-ignition risk
  • Long life (>100,000 km typical)
  • Anti-tracking rib design
  • Tight tolerances & reliable fit
  • Excellent cost-performance

Applications

  • Gasoline cars (turbo/GDI)
  • Motorcycles & racing
  • Small engines (generators, lawn, UAV)
  • CNG/LPG/natural gas engines
  • Aftermarket/performance upgrades

FAQ

Q1: What alumina purity do you recommend for high-performance/turbo engines?
