Siccast Mineralguss Gmbh & Co. Kg

What Siccast Mineralguss Gmbh & Co. Kg does

SICcast Mineralguss GmbH & Co. KG is a German materials engineering company that develops, manufactures, and applies patented silicon carbide (SiC) materials to protect industrial components from erosion corrosion, abrasion, and corrosion in liquid media. Founded in 1996 as a spin-out of pump manufacturer DÜCHTING PUMPEN, the company operates from Witten, Germany, and serves industrial customers in power generation (particularly flue gas desulphurisation), chemical processing, mining and mineral processing, and marine/offshore applications. The underlying material technology originated from DÜCHTING PUMPEN's early 1990s R&D into non-metallic wear-resistant materials and is protected by multiple German patents (DE 102 47 280 B4, DE 103 27 494 A1, DE 10 2006 031 113).

The company's core offering consists of three proprietary material systems that collectively span an unusually wide operating envelope: SIConit (a cold-curing silicon carbide composite coating for repair and protection up to 100°C and pH 0-14), SICcast EP 135 (a hot-curing mineral cast used to precision-cast components from 1 kg to 8 tons, rated up to 135°C with over 80% SiC content), and SICcast PLUS (a silicon carbide ceramic produced through pyrolysis and silication, rated for temperatures up to 1100°C). SICcast monetizes the technology through four streams: direct sale of proprietary materials, a "Revamping" full-service restoration offering (advertised as delivering 3-8x longer service life and 40-80% cost savings versus genuine spare parts), SIConit DIY repair kits for end users, and an international franchise licensing system covering 17 partner companies across Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Oceania.

The company runs an enterprise field-sales model supported by franchise partners and SIConit Points of Sale that provide local material supply and consulting. It has been ISO 9001:2015 certified (UKAS-accredited) since at least 2018, with the latest certification dated 2024. SICcast is privately held, family-run in its third generation under Dr.-Ing. Carsten Düchting, with no external institutional investment referenced. Its competitive position is anchored in domain specialization (30+ years of SiC wear-solutions experience), patented production and application processes, and a global franchise network that provides local market access while centralizing material know-how.

Core offering

SICcast develops, produces and applies patented silicon carbide (SiC) materials for wear protection against erosion corrosion, abrasion and corrosion in liquid media. The core product range comprises three proprietary material systems (SIConit cold-curing composite coating, SICcast EP 135 hot-curing mineral cast for precision-cast parts from 1 kg to 8 tons, and SICcast PLUS SiSiC industrial ceramic for extreme temperatures up to 1100°C), complemented by an Engineering Service for custom part production and a Revamping Full Service that restores worn pumps, impellers and piping to original dimensions with SiC coatings.

Product overview

SICcast is a materials engineering company offering a portfolio of patented silicon carbide-based materials for wear protection. The core offering consists of three distinct materials: SIConit (a cold-curing composite coating material for repair and protection), SICcast EP 135 (a hot-curing mineral cast for precision casting of parts 1kg-8 tons), and SICcast PLUS (an industrial ceramic for extreme conditions up to 1100°C). These materials serve components subject to erosion corrosion, abrasion, and corrosion in liquid media. Service offerings include the Engineering Service for custom component development, Revamping for worn-part restoration, and a Do-it-yourself repair kit. The company operates a franchise model for international distribution.

Products and services

• SIConit SIConit is a silicon carbide composite material (high SiC content with special cold-curing epoxy resin) for repair and protection of surfaces exposed to erosion corrosion, abrasion and/or corrosion (pH 0-14) at temperatures up to 100°C. Available in pasty standard, brushable (X), castable (K), and brushable-for-light-wear (F) variants. Adhesion 48 N/mm², temperature-shock resistant and impact resilient.
• SICcast EP 135 SICcast EP 135 is a mineral cast material of silicon carbide mixed with hot-curing epoxy resin (EP) under vacuum and cast without pressure in moulds. Temperature-controlled casting achieves very low shrinkage and produces precision parts from 1 kg to 8 tons. Silicon carbide content exceeds 80%, Mohs hardness 9.7, usable up to 135°C, pH 0-14, metal-free, anti-magnetic, sound-muffling and vibration-dampening.
• SICcast PLUS SICcast PLUS is a silicon carbide ceramic (SiSiC) for extreme wear combined with extreme usage conditions, including extreme chemical exposure and temperatures up to 1100°C. Produced via a novel precision casting procedure where resin is converted to carbon by pyrolysis and then silicated to silicon carbide, enabling large complex parts with backcutting and large wall-thickness differences.
• SICcast Engineering Service Free analysis of customer wear problems and development of tailored solutions with full engineering support. Includes construction and production of models and moulds of all types and sizes using CNC machines, 3D measuring technology and CAD-CAM systems, delivering components ready for installation.
• SICcast Revamping Full Service Full-service restoration of worn parts (e.g. pump impellers, casings, piping): worn material is first removed on processing machines to create space, then a homogeneous silicon carbide coating is applied and finished to original dimensions using diamond tools. Resulting wear protection lasts 3-8x longer than genuine spare parts with 40-80% cost savings.
• SIConit Do-it-yourself Do-it-yourself repair kit using SIConit material for in-house reconstruction of abraded metal surfaces or preventive coating, replacing metal patches, tiles and rubber linings. Adhesion 48 N/mm², chemically resilient across pH 0-14.
