During the past 30 years, the principal ceramic insulating materials have been the electrical porcelains, the steatites, and the high alumina bodies. The compositions, the structures, and the properties of these materials are discussed. Other porcelains and insulating compositions, containing as their principal crystalline phases mullite, zircon, forsterite, cordierite, wollastonite, or β‐spodumene, have unusual properties and are useful for specialty items. Predictions of future trends in ceramic insulating materials are made.
