Description

Zirconia powder, known as zirconium oxide (ZrO2), is a highly versatile material with many applications. It is utilized in various markets, such as aeronautics, automotive, electronics, and advanced technical ceramics. Zirconia powder is chemically inert and resistant to high temperatures, thermal shock, corrosion, impact, and wear, making it suitable for applications such as polishing, grinding, lapping, refractories, high-temperature fillers, insulation, zirconium metal production, electronics, alloying agents, opacifiers, ceramic color, and catalysts. The powder is available in different grades, colors, and particle size distributions to meet specific production process requirements. Additionally, zirconia powder is used to manufacture ceramic products, leading to faster processing, less contamination, and increased efficiency.

Zirconia powder is also available in colored forms such as blue, black, yellow, green, purple, and pink, with adjustable hues to meet customer requirements. Furthermore, zirconia powder is used to produce Zirconia Grinding Media, the most durable and efficient media for ball milling and attrition milling of ceramic materials.

Applications

Zirconia Powders are used in various industries such as aeronautics, automotive, electronics, and advanced technical ceramics. Some of the typical applications of zirconia powder include:

Zirconia Powder is available in various grades, colors, and particle size distributions to meet specific production process requirements. If you cannot find material suitable for your needs, custom sizing is also available.

Packaging

Our Zirconia Powder YSZ Powder are clearly tagged and labeled externally to ensure efficient identification and quality control. Great care is taken to avoid any damage which might be caused during storage or transportation.
