Zirconium Silicate is a high-quality and inexpensive opacifier with a high refractive index of 1.93-2.01 and chemical stability. It is widely used in the production of various ceramics. Besides, Zirconium Silicate has a high melting point, so it is also widely used in refractory materials, zirconium ramming materials for glass furnaces, casting materials, and spray coatings.
The zirconium silicate media ball is one of its kind, offering users the highest quality and superior grinding levels with improved abrasion resistance, better cost-effectiveness and lower overall contamination rates. Zirconium silicate beads are formulated in strict quality-controlled laboratory containers, in which they undergo specialized instillation techniques, followed by high-temperature sintering and final surface treatment. Compared to other alternative grinding media options such as glass beads or alumina, this ultra-hard media is an ideal solution for grinding special and complex products.
The basic characteristics of a good quality zirconium silicate grinding media are that they are high in density, shiny and smooth in appearance, and consist of a uniform solid spherical shape which in turn assures better efficiencies, decreased media wear, and a much longer life span respectively. Additional specialized techniques such as solidifying the media from surface to center result in further strengthening of the molecular structure of ZrSi beads. Zirconium silicate media balls exist in varying sizes and diameters in accordance with each buyer’s prerequisites.
ZrSi04 applications and uses are tremendous and widespread from everyday products such as paints and inks to ceramics, pharmaceuticals, and even in controlled quantities within edible food materials. Zirconium Silicate grinding media plays an integral role as an emulsion agent in order to achieve a ceramic glaze in refractory’s and on cutlery etc. Also being chemically inert and nonreactive allows ZiSi04 media to be used for grinding plastic on a mass level and at economical costs. Moreover, zirconium casting refractories of all kinds utilize this media for operational purposes within glass melting furnaces, cement production and heat/fire resistant porcelain among many others. On a generalized level, Zirconium Silicate grinding media performs numerous operations including mold cleaning of stainless steel, plastic as well as nonferrous materials, mechanical polishing, buffing and eventual after-cleaning processing.
On an overall rating scale, the benefits of this industrial product being extremely dense and strong results in creating an ideal surface roughness and metallic depth with a much lower breakage or contamination rate comparatively. These attributes in turn render Zirconium Silicate milling balls suitable for application on all types of materials and within both wet and dry environments easily.
