Zircon Powder

INTRODUCTION of Zircon Powder

Zircon Powder  is a mineral composed mainly of zirconium silicate (ZrSiO4). 

Form OF Zircon 

Ø ZIRCON SAND

Ø ZIRCON POWDER

APPLICATION of Zircon Powder

Ø Zircon Powder is o be used in Ceramics. Opacity, whiteness, wear resistance and moisture resistance make it a key component of ceramic tiles, sanitary ware and tableware.

Ø Zircon Powder is to be used in refractory industry to protect the interior of high-temperature furnaces

Ø Zircon Powder is  to be used in foundries and precision casting processes for the casting of metals and alloys into various products due to the  thermal stability, high melting point and abrasion resistance provided by zircon.

Ø Another important application of Zircon Powder is the production of a broad range of zirconia chemicals, which in turn, have a diverse range of end uses including ceramics, refractory, catalysts, coating electronics and biomedical related products.

Ø Some zircon powder  is used as an x-ray filter and as a polishing agent in the production of silicon wafers for the manufacture of semiconductor components such as integrated circuits (computer chips).
