Zirconia Mortars & Pestles Description
Zirconia Mortars & Pestles are laboratory tools made from zirconium dioxide (ZrO2), also known as zirconia. This material is chosen for its exceptional hardness, resistance to wear, and chemical inertness, making it an ideal choice for grinding, milling, and mixing substances that are too abrasive or corrosive for other materials like glass or agate. Their ability to withstand high temperatures and maintain sample purity makes them invaluable in fields such as material science, pharmaceuticals, nanotechnology, and chemistry.

FAQs
Q1: What is a Zirconia Mortar & Pestle used for?
Zirconia mortars and pestles are used for grinding, crushing, and mixing hard, brittle, or delicate materials, especially in laboratories, pharmaceutical development, material science, and chemical processing.
Q2: Why choose Zirconia over other materials like porcelain or glass?
Zirconia is much harder, more durable, and resistant to wear, corrosion, and chemical reactions than porcelain or glass. It also provides superior grinding performance and minimizes contamination.
Q3: Can Zirconia Mortars & Pestles be used with highly reactive chemicals?
Yes, Zirconia is chemically inert and highly resistant to most acids, bases, and solvents, making it safe to use with reactive chemicals without risking contamination.
