		Steatite is a ceramic material based on natural raw materials and consists mainly of soapstone (Mg(Si4O10)(OH)2), a natural magnesium silicate, with the addition of clay and feldspar or barium carbonate.
		Special steatite is defined in international standards as steatite with a low loss factor, and is not only used in low-loss high-frequency parts, but because of its excellent workability it is also used for the manufacture of components with thin, constant thickness.
		Special steatite possesses excellent mechanical and dielectric properties, and has been used for more than 90 years in various applications in electrical engineering, for electronic parts and in heat engineering.
