Zirconium Oxide Powder Description

Zirconium dioxide, commonly known as zirconia, is a highly versatile oxide of zirconium with the chemical formula ZrO2. At room temperature, zirconium oxide is a white, odorless, and tasteless crystal. It is insoluble in water, hydrochloric acid, and dilute sulfuric acid, making it highly durable and chemically stable under a range of conditions.

Zirconium oxide powder is characterized by its high melting point, high resistivity, and low thermal expansion coefficient, which make it an indispensable material in various high-performance applications. It is commonly used as a high-temperature resistant material, ceramic insulator, and ceramic sunscreen. In addition to these industrial uses, zirconia is also a key raw material for producing artificial diamonds, thanks to its excellent hardness and optical properties.

This high-purity 99.9% zirconium oxide powder is ideal for applications that require extreme durability, thermal resistance, and electrical insulation. The powder is available in a range of particle sizes to suit different manufacturing processes and is widely used in the production of advanced ceramics, electronics, and aerospace materials.
