Zirconium Dioxide
Zirconium dioxide (zirconia) is a ceramic oxide used in refractories and advanced ceramics; stabilized grades provide enhanced thermal-shock resistance or ionic conductivity.
Description
Refractory grades are selected for corrosion resistance in contact with aggressive slags or glasses. Stabilized zirconia compositions are used where phase stability or oxygen-ion conduction is required. Particle size and chemistry are chosen per application.
Applications
- Corrosion-resistant refractories in glass and metallurgy
- Advanced ceramics and thermal barrier components
- Grinding media and wear parts
Packaging
- Sealed bags or drums on pallets with batch identification
- Prevent contamination with foreign particles
- Handle to minimize dust generation
Storage
- Store dry and covered; reseal after opening
- Keep segregated to prevent cross-contamination
- Use FIFO across multiple deliveries
