Ceramic Clipper Blades Against Steel

Where the five times service life figure comes from, which sizes are made, and what changes for a clipper brand that switches from steel.

Ceramic clipper blades are the one product in our range that a consumer will hold. They are made from advanced zirconia and they are an upgrade from traditional metal blades rather than a substitute for them.

The Life Figure

Compared to standard steel clipper blades, ceramic blades deliver up to 5 times longer service life.
The reason is material, not geometry: superior hardness and low friction.
Zirconia is measured at 11.5 GPa Vickers with 800 MPa flexural strength and a fracture toughness of 9.0 MPam1/2, so the edge resists wear without being brittle.

What Else Changes

The blade is non-magnetic, so it does not hold clippings the way steel does.
It is corrosion resistant, which matters between disinfection cycles.
It has low thermal conductivity, so the cutting head does not carry heat into the blade the same way.
The surface is smooth after grinding and polishing.
