Product Description
99% Zirconium Oxide Powder Zirconium dioxide2), sometimes known as zirconia (not to be confused with zircon), is a white crystalline oxide of zirconium. Its most naturally occurring form, with a monoclinic crystalline structure, is the mineral baddeleyite. A dopant stabilized cubic structured zirconia, cubic zirconia, is synthesized in various colours for use as a gemstone and a diamond simulant.
Applications in Advanced IndustriesZirconium Oxide Powder is indispensable in various high-tech industries. Its use in hard ceramics for dental products, protective coatings in pigments, and as a refractory material make it highly versatile.
Superior Physical PropertiesThe powder boasts a neutral pH level, insolubility in water, and an exceptionally high melting point, enabling its use under extreme conditions. Its inert nature makes it suitable for sensitive applications.
Why Choose High-Purity Zirconium Oxide?Zirconium Oxide with 99% purity ensures optimal performance in applications like polishing, catalyst supports, and as a thermal barrier, making it a critical material in scientific and industrial domains.
