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

Application

Where Are Zirconia Beads Used?

🔬 1. Electronic Ceramics

Used for milling ceramic powders like alumina, titania, and barium titanate for MLCCs, capacitors, and other electronic components.

🔋 2. Lithium Battery Slurry

Ideal for dispersing and grinding cathode/anode materials such as LiFePO₄, NCM, and graphite in high-viscosity battery pastes.

🎨 3. Inks and Coatings

Applied in the production of digital inkjet inks, automotive coatings, and high-end pigments requiring fine and uniform dispersion.

💊 4. Pharmaceutical Suspensions

Used in wet grinding of APIs and excipients to nano or submicron levels for injectable and oral formulations.

⚗️ 5. Cosmetics and Pigments

Ensures consistent particle size and low contamination during processing of functional pigments and skin-contact materials.

🏭 6. Functional Nanomaterials

Crucial in dispersing carbon nanotubes, graphene, and quantum dots in advanced material R&D and production.
