Zirconium Dioxide
Rs. 300.00
In its most natural form, zirconium dioxide may be found in baddeleyite. It may, however, be chemically produced from zircon. Zirconium dioxide products have superior mechanical qualities and high-temperature stability, as well as strong heat and corrosion resistance, chemical inertness, and consistent quality. As a result, they are suited for usage in a variety of refractory goods, ceramic colors and pigments, and electrical applications.
Molecular Formulae- ZrO2
Alternative Names- Zirconium (IV) oxide, Zirconia, Baddeleyite
Country of Origin- India
BENEFITS AND APPLICATION-
- It's widely used in the manufacture of high-quality paints, coatings, and fiber treatment agents.
- Its primary function is as an opacifier, giving ceramic materials a white, opaque look.
- Because of its chemical resilience, zirconium dioxide is also employed in harsh conditions, such as molds for molten metals.
- Laboratory crucibles, metallurgical furnaces, and refractory materials all employ zirconium dioxide.
- It may be sintered into ceramic knives and other blades due to its mechanical strength and flexibility.
- Single crystals of zirconium dioxide's cubic phase are often used in jewelry as a diamond simulant.
