Product Description
Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO₂)
Zirconium dioxide (ZrO₂), also known as zirconia, is the main oxide of zirconium. It typically presents as white, odorless, and tasteless crystals that are insoluble in water, hydrochloric acid, and dilute sulfuric acid.
Zirconium dioxide is chemically inactive and characterized by a high melting point, high resistivity, high refractive index, and low coefficient of thermal expansion. These properties make it a crucial high-temperature-resistant material, ceramic insulator, and ceramic opacifier. It is also a primary raw material for artificial drilling applications.
Key Benefits
- High Melting Point (2700°C)
- Excellent Chemical Inertness
- High Refractive Index
- Low Thermal Expansion Coefficient
- Ideal for High-Temperature Applications
Target Industries & Applications
