Research Institute of Synthetic Crystals

Research Institute of Synthetic Crystals (formerly known as Research Institute of Non-Metallic Minerals), founded in February 1963, is a high-tech enterprise engaged in researching, manufacturing and developing of synthetic crystals and their products. RISC has been changed into a scientific and technological enterprise since July 1, 1999 and merged into China National Non-Metallic Minerals Industry Corporation (Group) owing to the economic reform in China.

Our Institute lays stress on predominant subjects constructions, and such 4 predominant subjects as optoelectronic functional crystal materials, superhard materials, advanced functional composite materials and synthetic mica insulating materials have come into being. And main high-tech products researched and developed are as follows:

Optoelectronic Functional Crystal Materials: Nonlinear optical crystals, infrared crystals, laser crystals, scintillating crystals, synthetic quartz crystal and its products.

Superhard Materials: Synthetic diamond and diamond tools, diamond film and its products.

Advanced Functional Composite Materials: Superlow expansion glass ceramics, transparent ceramics and AlN based high thermal conductivity composite material and so on.

Synthetic Mica Materials: Mica plates, mica scraps, mica papers, mica tapes and synthetic mica nacreous pigments, etc.

These products are widely used in such fields of military and civil as aviation, spaceflight, weapons, nuclear industry and communication, including the parts used in the Shenzhou Airship, Long March Carried Rocket and East Wind Range of Missile Systems, which made contributions to the causes of the developments of high and new technology and national defence of our country.

Cooperating with some other strategic partners, up-to-date Bright Crystals Technology INC. and Beijing Tiandi Orient Superhard Materials Co., Ltd. have been jointly set up in recent years. Production capacity of synthetic crystals products per year is up to a hundred million RMB, which pushed forward the process of the industrialization of synthetic crystals of our country.

Our institute has followed the new ideas of “setting high demands for the quality, providing qualified products for the customers, keeping forging ahead continuously and creating the cream of the synthetic crystals” to enlarge the domestic market and the world market. Since passing ISO9001 certification, the markets for the products of our institute have been steadily expanded, the quality of products is obtained a guarantee, and the products are sold to more than 30 countries and regions, such as USA, UK, France and Japan.
