ZIRCONIUM SILICATE APPLICATION FOR CERAMIC

1. What is Zirconium Silicate?

Zirconium Silicate (ZrSiO4) is a mineral of the nesosilicate group. The chemical formula is zirconium orthosilicate (ZrO2 + HfO2). Zircon is used as an opacifying agent in the Ceramics and Porcelain industry. To create an opaque white color for enamel, it must undergo a process of reflection and refraction under the effect of heat, by reacting through stages of Zircon in the structure of enamel.

Zirconium Silicate was discovered in 1892. It occurs in natural zircon ore as Baddeleyite in monoclinic, cubic, and cubic lattice forms.

Zirconium Silicate is characterized by high strength, toughness, hardness, and also good resistance to chemical corrosion.

2. Advantages of Zirconium Silicate in Ceramics.

Due to its high hardness, toughness, and flexural strength, the density is from 5.95 to 6.05 g/cm³. So the produced ceramics have high durability.

Ceramic products with Zirconium Silicate have high wear resistance, which is nearly 15 times more wear-resistant than ceramics using oxide alum. The coefficient of friction is low and only half that of aluminum oxide ceramics. At the same time, products with extremely fine surfaces and mirror shapes are very suitable for ceramic tile products.

Zirconium Silicate has good insulation, heat resistance, anti-static properties, and a high expansion coefficient, so it is very suitable for ceramic products in electricity such as insulators and capacitors.

Zirconium Silicate is widely used in ceramics and ceramic tiles with many outstanding advantages. Knowing the market and customers' demand, Mega Vietnam General Business Co., Ltd supplies and distributes Zirconium silicate codes with guaranteed quality and competitive price.
