ZrO₂

Zirconia Powder

Zirconia Powder (ZrO₂) is a high-performance ceramic material renowned for its extremely high melting point (~2715°C), exceptional wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and chemical stability. It exists in three crystalline phases—monoclinic, tetragonal, and cubic—with Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) being widely utilized for its superior thermal stability and mechanical strength.

Key Properties:

Exceptional High-Temperature Resistance: Ideal for refractory materials, aerospace coatings, and extreme environments.
Biocompatibility: Used in medical fields for dental implants, artificial joints, and biomedical devices.
Electrical Performance: A critical component in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and electronic ceramics.
Customizable Particle Sizes: Ranging from nano-scale to micron-level, tailored for precision ceramics, optical coatings, and diverse applications.

ZrO₂ Beads

Zirconia Beads

Zirconia beads are high-performance ceramic grinding media manufactured from high-purity zirconium oxide (ZrO₂). Renowned for their ultra-high hardness (Mohs hardness ≥8.5), exceptional wear resistance, and chemical inertness, these beads undergo specialized processes such as yttria stabilization (Y₂O₃-ZrO₂) to achieve stable tetragonal or cubic crystal structures. This ensures physical stability even under extreme conditions (e.g., high temperatures, strong acid/alkali environments), delivering a service life 3-5 times longer than conventional alumina beads.

Key Features:

High Density (≥6.0 g/cm³): Enhances grinding efficiency, shortens production cycles, and supports high-precision powder dispersion for applications like lithium battery materials and electronic pastes.
Zero Contamination: No metal ion leaching, meeting ultra-pure grinding requirements for pharmaceutical and food-grade nanomaterials.
Broad Size Range: 0.1mm to 30mm, compatible with diverse equipment including vertical sand mills and ball mills.
Superior roundness and surface finish
Excellent chemical resistance

ZrSiO₄

Zirconium Silicate Powder

Zirconium silicate powder is a high-performance inorganic material derived from natural zircon sand through high-temperature calcination, precision grinding, and classification processes. Combining excellent chemical stability, high-temperature resistance (melting point >2500°C), and high refractive index, it serves as a versatile material widely adopted across industrial applications.

Key Features

Ultra-High Purity: ZrSiO₄ content ≥98.5%, with heavy metal impurities (Fe, Ti, etc.) <0.1%, meeting electronic-grade requirements.
Corrosion Resistance: Stable in harsh environments, including strong acids (sulfuric, hydrochloric), alkalis, and molten salts.
Precise Particle Size: Adjustable D50 particle size: 0.5–20μm, compatible with dry/wet dispersion for spraying, injection molding, etc.
Eco-Safe: Non-radioactive, compliant with RoHS and REACH standards, suitable for food-contact applications.

Advantages

Cost-Effective Performance: 35–50% cost reduction compared to zirconia powder, ideal for large-scale industrial use.
Process Compatibility: Custom surface treatments (e.g., silane coating) to optimize bonding with resin/metal matrices.
Global Supply: Samples (from 1kg) to bulk orders (100+ tons), backed by technical reports and application guidance.

ZrSiO₄ Beads

Zirconium Silicate Beads (ZrSiO₄ Beads)

Zirconium silicate beads (chemical formula ZrSiO₄) are high-performance ceramic grinding media known for their cost-effectiveness, moderate hardness (Mohs hardness ~7.5), and excellent chemical stability. Produced from natural zircon sand via high-temperature sintering, they exhibit low metal ion leaching, making them ideal for cost-sensitive grinding applications with moderate contamination tolerance.

Key Features:

Cost-Effective: Significantly lower cost compared to zirconia beads, suitable for large-scale industrial grinding (e.g., ceramic glazes, mineral fillers).
Acid/Alkali Resistance: Stable in pH 3-11 environments, compatible with water-based and some solvent-based systems.
Uniform Particle Size Distribution: Available in 0.5mm to 5mm sizes, compatible with sand mills, agitator mills, and other equipment, ensuring consistent grinding efficiency.

Overview

Zircon Powder

Zircon Powder is a micron or submicron-grade powder material processed from natural zircon sand (ZrSiO₄, zirconium silicate) through crushing, grinding, and purification. Its exceptional physical and chemical properties make it a critical raw material in multiple industrial sectors.

Outstanding Physical Properties
- High Melting Point: ~2550°C, excellent high-temperature resistance.
- Low Thermal Expansion Coefficient: ~4.5×10⁻⁶/°C (20-1000°C), strong thermal shock resistance.
- High Hardness: Mohs hardness 7.5, excellent wear resistance.
Corrosion Resistance
- Resistant to acids, alkalis, and molten metals due to strong chemical inertness.
Optical Properties
- High refractive index (~1.92), used for whitening and opacifying effects.

Overview

Zircon Sand

Pure zircon sand usually appears in a colorless and transparent state with a square column structure. It is often dyed yellow, orange, red, brown and other colors due to different origins, types and quantities of impurities. It has a hardness of 7.8, a specific gravity of 4.6-4.71, a refractive index of 1.93-2.01, birefringence, direct light absorption, low magnetic susceptibility, non-conductive, and a melting point of 2550C. It is often found in coastal sand with ilmenite, rutile, monazite, xenotime and the like, and is obtained after separation by water separation, electric separation, magnetic separation and other mineral processing techniques. Its theoretical composition is ZrO₂ and SiO₂. As well as a small amount of impurities such as Fe20g, Cao, Al₂O₃, etc., theoretically pure zircon sand contains 67.23% ZrO₂ and 32.77% SiO₂

Production and Mining

Major Sources: Australia, South Africa, China (Hainan, Guangdong), and India.
Extraction Methods: Separated and purified from coastal sand deposits via gravity separation, magnetic separation, and electrostatic sorting.
