Product Description

Zirconium(IV) Dioxide (ZrO₂), commonly known as zirconia, is a high-purity inorganic oxide widely used in ceramics, refractories, electronics, and advanced materials research. It is valued for its high melting point, thermal stability, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance.

Common Applications Include:

• Advanced ceramics and structural materials

• Dental and biomedical materials

• Refractory linings and high-temperature applications

• Catalyst supports and electronic components

• Laboratory research and materials science

Zirconium(IV) Dioxide should be stored in a cool, dry place in tightly sealed containers. Use gloves, goggles, and a dust mask during handling to avoid inhalation of fine particles.
