Saggers are used to transport and protect sensitive products as they are heat-treated or fired in kilns. Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories’ saggers are specifically adapted to each heat treatment protocol and designed to minimize undesirable sagger-product reactions.

Suitable for use in the electronics and semiconductors industry, automotive industry, and with lithium battery and cathode powder technology.
Various materials and shapes are available.
Yes. A customized sagger design allows them to be stacked in a kiln, increasing volume output.
Yes. Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories’ experienced engineers are on hand to recommend the most ideal product and design option for a highly automated production line, taking into account factors such as the mechanical strength of the sagger (for robot handling) or advanced thermal shock resistance (for loading or unloading).
