The use of zircon powder

1. Used for mold coatings and ceramic cores in investment casting (precision casting) industry.

2. Zircon powder is not only used as the main material in the ceramic industry, but also for glazing, which increases the wear resistance and surface smoothness of the ceramic ware produced.

3. Zircon powder has specialized applications in many chemical industries, including cosmetics, cement, food preservation, leather making, and fiber (used in the manufacture of flame retardant fibers).

4. Zircon powder has a high refractive index of 1.93-2.01 and chemical stability. It is an excellent and cost-effective opacifier, widely used in the production of various building ceramics, sanitary ceramics, daily ceramics, handicraft ceramics, etc. In the processing and production of ceramic glaze, it has a wide range of applications and a large amount of application. The reason why zircon powder is widely used in ceramic production is also because of its good chemical stability, which is not affected by the sintering atmosphere of ceramics, and can significantly improve the bonding performance of ceramics and glaze, and increase the hardness of ceramic glaze surface. Zircon powder has also been further applied in the production of color picture tubes in the television industry, emulsified glass in the glass industry, and enamel glaze. Zircon powder has a high melting point of 2500 degrees Celsius, making it widely used in refractory materials, zirconium ramming materials for glass kilns, castables, and spray coatings.

A frit is a type of glass; Composed of zircon powder and certain raw materials, it is melted and quenched at high temperature; It has characteristics such as insolubility and stability. After grinding, it is applied to various utensils and fired to form a thin layer of glass. Used for architectural porcelain, daily porcelain, artistic porcelain, etc. Ceramic frit is one of the important raw materials for ceramic production. It can be used stably for a long time with zircon sand powder. Additionally, this product can also be used in alkali resistant glass fibers

Particle size: Different customers have different requirements for the particle size of zircon powder. The requirement for precision casting is 325 mesh (25% -30% below the 325 mesh screen), and the general requirement for frit manufacturers is 400-800 mesh (≤ 5% below the screen)
