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.
Advantages
Our zirconium silicate powder is engineered to meet the demanding standards of ceramic and refractory industries worldwide. Here are the key benefits our clients rely on:
| Advantage | Details & Industrial Impact |
|---|---|
| High Zirconia Content (≥65%) | Ensures excellent chemical stability and thermal resistance in high-temperature environments such as kilns, furnaces, and glaze firing lines. |
| Consistent Fine Particle Size (D50: 1.5–2.5 μm) | Allows for uniform dispersion in glaze suspensions, enhancing surface smoothness and opacity without causing sedimentation or pinholes. |
| Excellent Opacifying Effect | Delivers a strong whitening and masking effect in ceramic glazes and sanitaryware, improving visual appeal and hiding base defects. |
| Low Iron and Impurities | Fe₂O₃ content below 0.08% prevents discoloration and helps maintain brightness in finished ceramic or tile surfaces. |
| High Refractoriness | Withstands prolonged exposure to temperatures above 1600°C, ideal for refractory castables, kiln furniture, and insulation products. |
| Stable Chemical Structure | Inert ZrSiO₄ resists corrosion from alkalis, acids, and molten glass, extending equipment lifespan and reducing maintenance cost. |
| Enhanced Mechanical Strength | Improves impact resistance and reduces cracking during drying or firing stages in ceramic production. |
| Good Compatibility | Works well with feldspar, kaolin, alumina, and frits, minimizing reaction issues in complex glaze systems. |
| Custom Grades Available | Micronized or milled to customer specs, including ultra-fine grades (< 1 μm) to support different application needs. |
| Environmentally Compliant | Free of hazardous substances and RoHS compliant, supporting clean and sustainable manufacturing practices. |
Zirconium silicate powder serves as a high-performance opacifier and structural filler in a wide range of industrial applications. In the ceramic industry, it is commonly used in floor tiles, porcelain slabs, sanitaryware, household tableware, rustic pottery, and special porcelain to enhance glaze opacity, whiteness, and firing stability. It also plays a key role in the formulation of plastic compounds—especially epoxy, silicone, and ethylene resins—where it improves thermal resistance and dielectric strength. For refractories, it supports high-temperature performance in castables, kiln components, furnace linings, and refractory cement, delivering consistent durability under extreme conditions.
Ceramic Glazes: Zirconium silicate powder is the most important opacifier and whitening agent in ceramic glazes. Due to its high refractive index and good chemical stability, it can impart excellent whiteness, gloss, and opacity to the glaze surface, while also improving the hardness and wear resistance of the glaze. Zirconium silicate powders of different particle sizes can be used to produce matte, semi-matte, or glossy glazes.
Ceramic Bodies: In certain special ceramic bodies, zirconium silicate powder can also be used as an additive to improve the sintering performance, mechanical strength, and thermal shock stability of the body.
Refractory Bricks and Castables: Used in the production of refractory bricks and castables for high-temperature equipment such as glass melting furnaces, steel industrial furnace linings, and non-ferrous metal smelting furnaces, significantly extending the service life of furnace linings and improving corrosion resistance.
High-Temperature Coatings: As a component of high-temperature coatings, used to protect metal or ceramic surfaces from high-temperature oxidation and corrosion.
Epoxy Resin Formulations and Sealant Resins: Zirconium silicate powder can be added as a filler to epoxy resin formulations and sealant resins to enhance their strength, hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and dimensional stability.
Silicones and Vinyl Resins: In silicones and vinyl resins, zirconium silicate powder can also be used as a filler to improve the physical and mechanical properties of the materials, such as increasing hardness, wear resistance, and potentially enhancing flame retardancy.
General Resin Fillers: Due to its high refractive index, good chemical stability, and wear resistance, zirconium silicate powder is widely used as a filler in various resins. It can improve the fluidity and gloss of products, and reduce costs.
White Pigment and Filler: As an efficient white pigment and filler, it can improve the hiding power, whiteness, and weather resistance of paints and inks.
Functional Coatings: In certain functional coatings, such as wear-resistant coatings and anti-corrosion coatings, zirconium silicate powder can be used as an enhancing component to improve the hardness and durability of the coating.
Biomedical Materials: In the field of bioceramics and biocompatible coatings, zirconium silicate has good biocompatibility and can be used to manufacture dental materials, bone repair materials, etc.
Catalyst Carriers: As an inert carrier, it can be used to load active components and play a role in certain catalytic reactions.
